Steve Burgess

This is so hard! Multi period site makes sense but the Classic Greek stories are what got me fascinated by ancient history as a kid...

Mark Freestone

Ship burial? It’s got to be a contender!!

Mike W

Mixing my love of time team and ancient Greek history would be a dream come true for me.

Jill Bray - Author

It's such a shame we can only select one and not a top three. I've selected the bronze age site on the archipelago, but I'd also love to see the Forest Site in Yorkshire as this would be a good one to demonstrate how the new technology of Lidar can help archaeologists. As a contrast I'd also love to see the lost Tudor Palace investigated - just because it brings in the historical element of research.

Andrew Gledhill

I do not like the fact that you can see how everybody has voted. Before I made my vote. This means that people are less likely to vote for any least popular sites.

Dagmar Brugger

strange, I saw it only after my voting . . . .

Phelim McIntyre

The 2 Anglo-Saxon cemeteries will probably split the vote for those who like them. Sorry, the Ancient Greeks are almost as yawnsome as the Romans.

Geoffrey Plumb

I agree with Jill difficult to choose only one as all digs have value and until dug unknown what it might add to our knowledge. Great to be a little part of the process.

Ros Haywood

Don't go abroad! One of the comforting things about Time Team is that we can 'feel' the history of this country because we recognise it.

Liesel Annible

I agree top three would be easier - too many great choices!

Richard Thomas

Why do the links to North American settlers not have more votes? I believe this is something Time Team has not touched on before....

Simon Dixon

So hard. Ship burial for me but would also like to see the challenges of an excavation on a modern housing estate!

Andrew Calderwood

Although the Greek excursion sounds very interesting, I do like the in-country digs that have a more at-home feel (and I’m in the USA)! 😆 The Anglo Saxon time period is so interesting and less understood. That’s why I selected the ship site - but could have just as easily picked the other AS possibilities.

Alex Gregory

The Anglo-Saxon centre has got to be up there. So little is know about that very early period. The idea that there were Anglo-Saxon mercenaries working for the Romans prior to their withdrawal is really interesting. It has my vote!

Alex Gregory

The Greek site is also interesting however I’m not sure it’s what the new Time Team should be about. There is so much Archaeology in the UK… much of it at risk, not really sure going overseas is right.

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi Andrew, it's a quirk of Patreon's own in-built polling function that results are displayed in real-time, but we urge everyone make their own voices heard in the poll and comments.

Andrew Gledhill

Thanks for the answer. It's not ideal. But I guess we will have to accept it.

Always86

L honestly they all sound good. Appreciate you’re limited in what you can do, but they all sound like deserving places to investigate

Wolfgang Zenker

In my view that depends mostly on the funding necessary for going overseas. If we can do more sites in total if we limit digs to the UK then don't go overseas; if on the other hand the cost is similar then please do a bit of work overseas, not least to encourage more international Patreon supporters.

Mike@greenlight

I have chosen the USAAF Base as the Neolithic site beneath could easily have laid undisturbed for the last (industrialised) 100 years. The Americans did not tend to dig that deep, they mainly just concreted over everything!

Adam Lawrence

I'm going for the ship burial because... well. It's a ship burial! But I'd also like to add my support for more overseas digs. It's so useful especially in times like these, to see the British Isles in their European and global context.

Giles Cartmel

I've gone for the tudor Palace. We see a lot of Anglo saxon and roman digs, but not so many tudor ones. If course any digs will surely be great.

Kathie C

As Tim said 'should we go up north', my answer is yes. Living in southern towns and cities is a relatively modern phenomena, and yet most of the sites suggested are below the midlands. It seem contrary to me that the personpower needed to build and use Orkneys Brochs and the Ring of Brodgar (third largest circle in Britian) (and their descendents) decided to ignore the 700 miles of land before they reached Stonehenge. Why do we never hear that a bronze age or saxon village/graves has been discovered under planned housing or infastructre development in the north? I think that it is the lack of more recent large scale development / exploration which had led to an apparent dearth such sites in Lancashire/ Yorkshire/ Northumberland/ Cumbria. A detailed review using Lidar and landscape archaelogy could find so much.

Jon Knight

Because it’s not something that many people are interested in!!!

Jon Knight

Time Team is not a British program anymore, because it’s paid for by people from around the world, which means that we should be seeing programs from around the world whenever it is possible to make them.

Alex Gregory

I’m just not entirely sure overseas should be happening this quickly. If it’s only going to be another two sites next year I’d prefer it to be concentrated in the UK. If in a year or two more sites can be done in a year then yes by all means. But at this early stage I think the UK is the place to be.

Beverley Lee

Anything Tudor meets with my approval!

Mr John Stanton

Sites that are likely to turn up structures or artefacts that people (and myself) can visibly relate too are i find more interesting, so Roman and 11th Century onwards are probably what i find most interesting. ALSO in this quite early stage of "Time Team" return, i think it's even more important to work on sites that can more easily visibly have something to show as this way "Time Team" and Patreon are more likely to attract (and keep) New Patrons and Supporters which in this early stage of re-birth is Vital if Funds are to continue flowing to sustain "Time Team". By all means concentrate on other less visual but arguably just as important,if not more so era's once this New Structure is firmly established

Derek Thom

Ship burials . I hope someone is talking to Martin Carver as well!

Hilary Locke

Tudor Palace - what a wonderful backdrop to a 3 day dig.

Richard Moss

As others have said, it was hard to pick one, would much have preferred to select two or three. As a northerner, I've backed Yorkshire as it would be great to get the Team up here, but two of the Anglo-Saxon sites (Dorchester and Suffolk) sound amazing, as does the Tudor palace. And who wouldn't want to explore a ship burial, or links to a saint. We need more patreons! I would also stick to Britain for now if we are only likely to see two or three digs. Look forward to hearing more on many of these sites. The site wrestles are always great.

Riikka

Me too. Also curious about the idea of possible additional WWII finds.

Oz

oh this is made so unnecessarily hard to figure out. the sites are named differently from in the video, it was hard to even pick out the individual sites there, you could have just numbered them. i wanted to vote for the reinvestigation of the fort side in east anglia but when i looked at the poll couldn't even find it - you suddenly called it an anglo-saxon cemetery instead. as glad as i am that the audio recording quality got better please find some structure for things like this and stratify your points in a clearly distinguishable manor so it gets simple to pick one thing out... all this aside, i'm happy you are asking for votes and give some room to engage with the process!

Dorothy Africa

The forest site seems the most mysterious. I think Time Team should consider which site has the potential to provide the greatest return in advancing our knowledge of the unknown.

Steven Meeks

I like the Tudor site as it includes above ground research and below ground.

Nathan Lyons

The site in Dorchester sounds really intriguing. Would be really cool to find some archaeology relating to the Foederati period of Anglo-Saxon migration. But as an American I think I'm contractually obligated to vote for the site in Suffolk!

TimeTeamOfficial

As it happens, we have been chatting to Martin Carver at the Longshed in Suffolk, while following the reconstruction of the Sutton Hoo ship! We'll have more to share on this soon...

Fiona Garnet-Lawson

Is the Ancient Greek Classical Site overseas? (I've never heard of ancient Greek remains in UK, that would be stunning!)

David Hazel

As a slight aside, I would prefer not to be able to see the histograms showing the relative popularity of each site until AFTER I have voted, as I think showing them beforehand will tend to influence how people vote. We should vote based on what interests each of us, not on what others think are interesting.

Melissa Rybb

Agree with above poster. Is it possible to change when the histograms appear?

Carol

There seem to have been a lot of burial and Roman sites recently (not least through HS2 digs). A Tudor palace is perhaps more engaging for youngsters (the next generation of archaeologists) and also more intriguing.

Bob Pockney

Hmm. I didn't see the histograms until after I'd voted (using Patreon app on Android)

Robert Wise

I’m drawn to the forest site in Yorkshire by the mystery, and the challenge of untangling many occupation layers (unless the archaeology is too interwoven to separate?). Could a complex site like this be the subject of more than one TT episode?

Goijaart van Dijk

I voted for the Roman building beneath a modern housing estate, because that offers the possibilty for classic Time Team interaction with the local residents. Backyard digging instead of in a distant and open field makes for interesting television.

Ann H

I actually like them for an insight into the larger community. As I am in the U.S., I also assume there is some additional insight from the "locals" over there that is of interest. Not someone influenced by histograms so that is my voting bias.

Ann H

Hope they are not going to take down the trees.

Ann H

Nah, no contract implied and I'm in New England.

Artesian

Don't know much about Greek sites and would like to know more.

David Hazel

It's fair enough to see them after voting, for that purpose. But showing them beforehand will influence how some people vote.

Ann H

Not sure how the poll is collecting votes. Do we have to "send" or is a single vote auto recorded? I accidentally voted twice (duh) if it is auto recorded as I assumed a send function.

Ann H

There is also already quite a bit on early settlers here in the U.S. Digs and books. For those who are interested, Albion's Seed by Hackett Fischer is a terrific read (three books in one so long). It details the very first wave of arrivals. For NYC, Island at the Center of the World reflects the new translations of the original Dutch documents of that wild city and its indigenous neighbors.

Elizabeth Ackermann

How do you pick just one! So many exciting possibilities here. Looking forward to the short list and site wrangles.

Alan Pryke

I find the Ancient Greek Classical site very intriguing and would be a Time Team first.

Ed Claytor

If the Greek site is in Britain, I would be interested in that. That bronze age trade is something that I'd like to learn more about.

Ann H

Historic architectural plans don't work well on a screen is my objection and you lose the discovery story line. Impossible on a small screen and only minimally relatable on a larger one.

Sherry Cartmill

The more we can learn about why people chose sites to live is fascinating.

Jeff Cole

The Anglo-Saxons created what is now England. Their history is very important to modern-day England.

Beth

I voted for Greece, because, hey, GREECE! But I'd love the multi-period Lincolnshire site or the Yorkshire forest as well. Any chance of getting Phil back?

Andy H

They all sound amazing, what a series that could've been back in the day. Dorchester for me though, if I can only have 1

Rebecca Jones

Tough choices! But I do love the Anglo-Saxon period, so I went with my heart.

Elizabeth Perry

Too hard to choose. I'll be happy with whatever site(s) are selected, because it's TT. I chose the Yorkshire Forest.

John McFeeters

The only authenticated Viking Site in North America is at Lansaux Meadow in Newfoundland. To find any further link would be exciting.

John McFeeters

Accidentally voted twice. Best to scan choices by scrolling on right side of screen.

Derek Maddox

What a difficult choice! I suppose the recent excitement about Sutton Hoo has influenced my selection, but I'm going for the ship burials. Although St. Eanswythe runs a very close second. My wife will soon be ordained as a pastor, and the early history of the Christian church in Britain is of particular interest.

Jessica Wicks

Anglo-Saxon settlements were so instrumental to the development of modern day England, and yet our knowledge about them is so elusive. I chose the Anglo-Saxon settlement on the Thames, but any of those sites from that era would be great.

Chrina Jarvis

Having held a voluntary position at the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge in Epping Forest for 15 years (which was commissioned by Henry VIII in 1543, renovated by Queen Elizabeth and, I believe, the only Great Standing of its kind in the country), I have acquired a certain amount of knowledge of Tudor history and am interested in acquiring more about other Tudor properties in Great Britain.

Jonathan Everett

Dorchester. Taking the team back to its roots

Nathan Lyons

Yknow... I seem to remember hearing that Tony and Mick first met in Greece while Mick was giving a tour. If we want good TV and a deep dive into Timeteam prehistory then this site and Dorchester, where the pilot was shot, would be great.

Lesley Swann

I'm really intrigued by the Island Archipelago. I'd love to see that barrow on the WWII site as I've heard about that one and would love to see more detail. The Greek site looks amazing too. It's so hard to choose just one!!!!

Dianne Brown

MY curiosity was peak with the early European settlers of North America in Suffolk ...thought this one would be a very interesting one.

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi David, it's a quirk of Patreon's in-built polling function that results are displayed in real time, but we encourage everyone to make their voices heard and also share additional thoughts in the comments. We'd love to see your first impressions, but there will be many more opportunities to let us know what you think as we provide more details and the process develops. Thanks

Alisdair Artymiuk

I voted for the Greek site, but who doesn't want to find a ship burial? I would also support the Suffolk site if the locals are excited to have us and the Dorchester one sounds very interesting.

Alisdair Artymiuk

Probably The Scilly Isles... Sorry, after looking it up, "The Isles of Scilly." I guess they don't like to be called the silly isles.

Mel Spera

The ancient Greek site is very different. My second choice is the one about the site related to the settling of North America. The absolute worst site is the Viking site because the Ship Burials have not been proven to have actually occurred. Why would these people burn such a HUGE asset to the family and the village.

Mark Lund

Ship burials of course, but nostalgic and fascinating Dorchester too, plus the forest sounds intriguing. If you need more hands out there, I'll help! Not abroad for now...in my opinion.

John Beaumont

What is the era for the Forest Site in Yorkshire?

JonahTheBard

Pick Lincolnshire and see if we can coax Guy de la Bedoyere back to the show ;)

Graham Adamson

Anglo-Saxon ship burials and their relationship and connection with Scandinavian ship-related burials is fascinating ..... the religious 'intent' is so tantalising .

Thomas C. Vail

It is really hard to choose just one since I would love to explore all of them :-)

George W. Claxton

I am always interested in Roman sites, but the ship burials seems fascinating to me.

amasulem

All a bit vague and up in the air so I voted for the Neolithic to be the odd one out. Not really, aside from the Saxons my curiosity is often more amply fulfilled with a reading about Neolithic sites.

Erica Griffith

We need a ranking system guys! I quite like the sound of 4 of these.

Erica Griffith

In no particular order... (also I'm amending it to 6) the multiperiod site in Lincolnshire the greek site the ship burials the tudor palace the archipalego bronze site and finally the forest site having said this I find all of the sites interesting and you can never go past a good roman site ;)

Mark T. Beedy

Wow, they all seem worthwhile. I'm voting for the Village test pit in Suffolk because I live in the USA and I think that it would be interesting to learn more about European migration to North America. But the WII USAAF base site would be interesting too.

MishaFox

ALL the sites sound cool.

Rose Phoenix

Difficult choices but I went for bronze age!

Robert Weissburg

I selected my choice, but there's no submit button to enter it with. It's got a red circle with check mark in it, but I can't register my choice, apparently.

Tony Battles

I chose the possible ship burial site. Though a much more difficult dig. I think in the long run, we could learn more about the A/S culture.

Eggs Ackley

Should part of the multi-period campus include the remains of a pub I would imagine Phil would be back in the trench too.🍺

Melinda Nagy

It’s too bad we can’t pick more than one…I liked several of them…Bronze Age site on archipelago, Viking ship burial, the one in Greece, village test put in Suffolk, Anglo Saxon cemetery in East Anglia to name a few

Don Cook

i picked the forest site...because You did not include a description other than name-i love a good mystery! yet the neolithic mound sounds cool, as does the potential anglo saxon cemetery in East Anglia; i spent 4 years there ages 4 to 8, remember loving the place.

Jennifer Hughes

I agree I’d like a ranking, so beyond the ship burial at #1 I’d rank: - Village test pit site in Suffolk linked to European N American settlers - “Lost” Tudor palace - Anglo-Saxon Cemetery in Suffolk - Bronze Age site on island archipelago (what a challenge!) Keep up the great work!

Emma chamberlain

Top 4: Anglo saxon ship burial, Anglo saxon cemetry x2 and Lost Tudor house 👍

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi Robert, Patreon's polling function doesn't come with a submit button, so once you've made your selection, it will have registered the vote.

Jessica Page-Thomas

To be honest, any of them! But lost Tudor house and St Eanswythe's chapel in Kent both peaked my interest!

Wim Kuilman

I clicked the potential ship burials as this has my interest, too late I realized that I had only one choice... There are at least five more that I would love to see.

Mrs Mary Ellen Johnson

I picked the ship burial site but they are all very interesting. I hope that all of them will be visited by The Time Team as they seem to be sites well suited to a three day examination.

Brian Heymans

I chose the Anglo-Saxon site in Dorchester on Thames, it's the smaller village of the two Dorchester's with its iconic St Georges Hotel (great pub to suit John Gator) plus several Midsummer Murder episodes were filmed there, although that's no reason to go there. Dorchester Abbey across from St George's, built in the 12th century on the site of a Saxon cathedral is worth a visit. Perhaps that's the site to be explored further.

Barbara Shaw

I go for the Test Pit in Suffolk Linked to Early North American Settlers … they sailed away … and the rest, as they say, is history! Plus a ‘TransAtlantic Session’ might have appeal for those guys supporting PATREON and living in, or with family links, or with interests in North America!

Barbara Shaw

P.S. I sent my comment but couldn’t work out how to send/register my vote on iPad!

Thomas Murray

Thank You for keeping us involved in our collective adventure!

Jeff Suter

Any of the Saxon sites, especially the ship burials. Perhaps a top 3 poll would be fairer. Bit bored of Romans.

Todd Gillespie

I voted for the test pits and the Nordic King I assume was Guthrum. Second would be the A-S ships. Third would be Dorchester-on-Thames.

Bruno

What could be more exciting than to see the prow exposed by Phil’s trowel?

Carole Foster

Anglo Saxon ship burial would be amazing; it would be interesting to know how potential it is though.

Glenn Overington

This site sounds really exciting as do the other Anglo Saxon sites. The Bronze Age site on the archipelago could also be intriguing.

Kathryn

Why oh why can I only pick one? :-(

Stephen John Brown

Intrigued that there might be a potential 2nd 'Sutton Hoo'

Robb Dods & Monica Ross

I (Robb) think a classical Greek escapade would be an interesting and different trip for TT.

Connie L Merchant

I like the forest in Yorkshire, the land of Stewart. There are plenty of lumps and bumps for him to check out and deduce. But, don't know how John and Geophys will do. There could be lots to discover here according to Tim's description.

Dave Harrison

Im with the Saxon ship burials myself. Good to see plans afoot for 2022, when will the content from 2021 be released?

Terri

Haven't seen a lot of Ancient Greece on Time Team. I'm very curious to see their reach and what you might find.

Yvette Hoitink

I love the sound of the saint's chapel. I am fascinated by medieval archaeology and think it is what Mick would have loved to do.

Paul Middleton

If anyone from patreon reads these or anyone knows how to message them can they not allow people to sponsor others less fortunate to enable them to get involved I recently read a message from a carer on YouTube who can't afford the subscription I said I would double my subscription to help but don't know if this is possible anyone help?

Alex Krill

The Forest site in Yorkshire sounds unusual but interesting with its Tudor links. Test pit site in Suffolk also sounds interesting with the link to settlers to North America, am currently watching Secrets of the Viking Stone and Curse of Oak Island and find them fascinating.

Poppy Marks

Anglo Saxon ship burial sounds very exciting!

David Boon

Anywhere there is a possibility of human remains. I keep harping on about it, but ancient DNA analysis is changing our understanding of the past. I know the old team don’t necessarily have that expertise but if Time Team is to evolve, more is changing than just the technology to see what is below the ground. In other ways I am a traditionalist and would love to see that DNA technology applied to a British site.

Adam Prickett

These all sound so amazing. I'm sure whichever one is selected will yield good results. Keeping my fingers crossed for a future site local to me in Portsmouth.

Anna Eaton

I am having a tough time picking a favorite.

Sally Ramey

They all sound great, and I see several that really interest me. The island and forest sites sound interesting/different. I'm also partial to any chance of finding Roman mosaics. But I think the possibility of finding another ship burial is simply too good to pass up, so that was my vote.

Doug Mackey

I’m right in line with Vox Populi here. 1. Ship burial. 2. Bronze Age site.

Steven Bradbery

Tough choice, but on the basis that there are a limited number of programmes right now, the prospect of another significant Anglo-Saxon find is intriguing. It sounds like it can make use of new technology and perhaps build on the Sutton Hoo programme.

Sam Kerr-Smiley

The idea of the test pit site - Village test-pit site in Suffolk linked to early European settlers of North America - is fascinating and seems to me to be the unusual topic that TT presents so well. And test pitting in back gardens is so exciting!!

Chris January

I would have liked to vote for the Roman Fort in East Anglia -- but it is missing from the list!

Kate

I’m American, so I disqualify myself from picking a site except to say I would go for sites that fill major gaps in knowledge or test new scientific and technological applications to advance archeological methods.

Donna Oglesby

also American here, but I actually have a toss up between two sites . the first being Potential Anglo-Saxon cemetery in East Anglia, and the second one being Potential site of Anglo-Saxon ship burials, or maybe the St Eanswythe's chapel in Kent, knowing of course either one will not get chosen, so just happy with anything.

Donna Oglesby

though I have to admit my all time Favorite site ever, has been Turkdean!

Wolfgang Zenker

All of these sites look intriguing, and I would love to see them all. But we can only choose one in this round, so I voted for the bronze age site, because that archipelago in the far south west of the UK has a special place in my heart. Of all the places I have visited I remember it as one of the most beautiful.

Ian Hunter

Bronze age site on the Island archipelago, I hope this site gives clues to navigation and trade at this time.

Cheryl Kurucz

They are all great, but I am leaning towards the Island site.

Joshua M

My two favorites are in the lead! For me it’s (1) Bronze Age site, (2) Potential Anglo-Saxon ship burial.

Paul Brekke

You should hide the results until after people have placed their vote. It's impossible not to be influenced by other choices when you see the live results before your own vote. That said - every new Time Team episode, whatever the subject or site, is a wonderful thing! :)

Paul Convery

Very difficult to just pick one, though the Bronze age island site and ship burial both sound very intriguing to me, but if you are going to put an Ancient Greek site on the list I will have to vote for that! It is always interesting to see the team tackling a site that is in a part of the world that they aren't used to working in, and knowing Time Team's origins have a little connection to Greece thanks to Tony having Mick as a tour guide in Greece when they first met adds a little something to that site.

Beth Ortolano

Impossible to only vote for one!

John Wilkinson

The best Time Teams are those with recognizable trench features; generally Roman or Medieval walls. With only 2 digs probable, it is those that will make the best programmes.

Tonya LaFountain

I made my choice, however, I think going the site close to where the 1st episode was filmed would be the ULTIMATE tribute to all involved with Time Team.

Maeve

My favorites of Time Team Original, TTO, was always the Roman sites. It surprised me, as being from the US, I knew nothing about any of the rich history of the UK. My heritage is nearly 100% Scottish, & loved the fact that the Scots kicked their armour , for which Hadrians wall was built. Tho being said, every dig was fascinating. They made one feel like visiting with family at work...tho it looked like a lot of fun to me. I'm a rock hound, so I love digging.

Michael Taylor

Oh, so difficult! I really want to see Dr Geake get excited over the Anglo saxons though!

Elaine P

Just recently watched episodes on Blythburg and Mull. Blythburg was such a challenging spot I would love to be able to get the priory at Blythburg more sorted out (assuming the home owners would be amenable and haven't already figured it out), but Mull was also a big tease though in a different way. They knew what they had, but had to leave so much undiscovered. Wouldn't it be grand to be able to return and figure out even more (again, if it hasn't already been done)? But any of these options I'm sure will be equally compelling!

Andrew Hill

I like the 'Greek' site idea. From my own research I believe there must have been interactions between our bronze and iron age ancestors and the Greeks, where one culture informed the other. So, what about thinking about an ancient Greek colony like Massalia; currently, Marseilles. The Britons and Gauls shared similar cultures, such as, the Druidic cultural and religious religious ideas and practices described by Julius Caesar and others. We know much about Greek ethics, but I wonder if the Druidic ethical system (assuming there was one) of Briton and Gaul was informed by Greek ethics and vice versa and, Massalia seems like a geographically convenient place for sharing ideas between the two cultures. The archaeological process and any artefacts found may help to provide some answers. I realise the idea is a bit left field and, actually, I will be happy to watch the TT episode based on any of the sites suggested.

M R

I’ll admit my actual choice is the ship burials but I had to vote for the US Air Force base

Renato Bugge

Being from Norway with all the ship burials up here, it is interesting with these saxon burials to see how they connect. Early Norwegian language is quite close to old Germanic with some old place names suggesting early Saxon settlements even up here.

Ray Carrick

Some good options but a bit south of England-centred, perhaps?

Matthew Hambley

Disappointed to see no obvious option for industrial archaeology or anything more recent that Tudor. Things don't have to be old to be archaeology.
