A huge thank you to everyone who has watched and taken part in the premieres of Time Team's first new excavation.

In the final instalment, we were treated to some incredible 3D models, which we'll be sharing right here on Patreon in the days ahead. Next up is this wonderful sherd of Trevisker ware pottery discovered in the Bronze Age roundhouse.

In the experimental archaeology segment, we witnessed Angie Wickenden and Natalie Haynes decorating pottery using twine made from nettles. This interactive model allows you to get up close to that distinctive patterning and explore it from a unique perspective.

Special thanks to Matt 'Bear' Clark of Shadow Tor Studios, who has produced many of the amazing 3D models showcased throughout the first episode.

It was great to see you all back. My husband who usually just catches bits of the old shows when I watch sat with me through all three episodes and even had a timer set for when episode three was going to be available in the USA and he loved them all. Great job Time Team.

Stephen Southworth

Excellent! Hard to believe that the project has been essentially crowd funded plus one corporate sponsorship but has delivered serious archaeological investigation, broadcast quality tv and imaging of this detail. The only naysayers are the unrealistic that think all this can be delivered in HD with an orchestral soundtrack; those dreaming of the impossible (Tony and Phil returning) or a few gripes about presenting style being a bit more serious that you will always get anyway. More Natalie next time please, she is great!

Mark Lund

It's amazing how crisp the pattern still is on this sherd that has been buried for so long. Did they get lipid analysis from this pot? (if they mentioned it during the show, or the Live Q&A I missed it.) Thanks

Carrie Hartley

Absolutely loved it... brilliant worh.. EVERYBODY!

Pauline

Loved the return. I think Natalie’s style is more like the spirit of Time Team ‘as was’. Gus was great in the conversations but the voice over commentary was too restrained and smoothed for me, I lost the sense of excitement and fun.

Ann H

Also more from individuals like the pottery expert who walks up and calmly says "bronze age, the lip angle" more finds at naming other sites. In awe of his and similar experts seasoned knowledge.

Ray Roberts

I have no complaints... (gasp!)... the shows were absolutely superior in every way.

Ann H

Off topic. Eleanora's Falcon? Eurasian Hobby? My other thing is hawkwatch north America.

Stitch

I really enjoyed the Trevisker Ware pot shards flipperoo animation. Did Matt do that as well?

Suzanne Gabriel

I loved the new show! These 3D animations are amazing - I love being able to zoom in and really feel like I'm "handling" them.

Andrew Hingston

Gus is the museum professional whose role is presenting the past to the public. His style may not be what we expected but to complain that it is too polished and authoritative seems at odds with the purpose of the programme. Natalie Haines, on the other hand, is an experienced broadcaster and stand-up comedian as well as writer and classicist. They fill separate niches. As things go on TT will work out how best to use their talents, but the combination is a good one

Jill Desruisseau

Absolutely delighted with the first return episodes! After the first episode I really dug (get it?) Gus’s voice as narrator. Fabulous to see all the returning faces, and it was brilliant to see Victor’s drawings being used. Can’t wait for more episodes!

Kate

I liked both presenters expertise very much. It's not the old TT nor should it be. I also liked the former "supporting cast" of Carenza, Stuart, Henry, John etc gets more screen time in their authoritative and professional way. It seems less show biz and more informative. Mick would approve.

Julie Freeman

The original Time Team worked together for years in roles that both they and the viewers were familiar and comfortable with. The earliest episodes / series of the original Time Team were a bit more formal and stilted. I think both Gus and Natalie have made a great start in this very first episode of the new Time Team.

Freda Bradley

What a beautiful piece. I am LOVING the sketch fab additions. These are also incredibly useful to show my college learners. Please keep these up and available for those of us teaching history!!

Julie Freeman

I love the pottery decorated with strings and it was interesting watching them try to make it. Angie Wickenden explained to Natalie how the ancient potters buried their clay for a while as this made it more pliable and easier to work with. Later the archaeologists came across a large quantity of buried clay in the middle of the circular enclosure and wondered what it was doing there.

Sarah Holloway

It was wonderful and I loved everything about it .

Don Cook

things that make You go, hmmmmmmmmm?

Pat Szastkiw

I think that is a great explanation, Julie. Maybe there are the remains of a pottery/kiln site nearby. Or perhaps that anomalous blob of yellow clay in the middle of the “ritual-use” square was a buried clay effigy or statue that was not fired so it lost its shape?

Mark Lund

Ha ha, yes Hobby. Actually a fairly lousy photo, but it looks OK very small!

Mark Gaither

I'm such a nerd ... I love this!!!

Christine Wallace

Wonderful clear image of the decoration. It looks as if something with a very crisp profile, like sinew, has been twisted and impressed to make this pattern. I love things like this - on one of the pots shown on the Cornish dig the image was so clear you could even tell which set of lines of decoration had been inscribed first, as overlaid lines cut through the first. That is getting a glimpse into the working practises of forebears; not so different from us.
