Time for some Friday fun to send us into the weekend...

We hope you are as excited about the upcoming 2022 digs as we are. We'd love to know which site you are currently looking forward to the most.

Please take part in our poll and let us know the reasons for your choices in the comments section (stating which site you are referring to).

Feel free to add your wider thoughts on what you hope we'll achieve at the sites.

What might we find? What questions could the sites answer? How will today's technology and techniques help us answer those questions? Most importantly of all, will we get back in the pub this year?

More Site Wrestle sessions and exclusive location recce details are on the way very soon, right here on Patreon.

Cathy Tyrrell

It’s something different for Time Team. My recollection is that there have been a few Anglo-Saxon digs.

Steve Mikre

If Helen and Stewart say these sites are worth Time Team's expertise then I'm 110% all in...

André Beuving

I am sure Time Team will satisfy my curiosity for the unknown wherever they put their spades in the ground :-)

Ann H

But which one am I more curious about? Hospitaller. After I saw their (rebuilt) buildings in Rhodes and realized I had no idea about their structures elsewhere yet they were an international, wealthy entity.

Zoe Propper

I have a fascination with the Anglo Saxon period. The art and metal work are so interesting and beautiful. I would love some metalwork to be found and know more about how it was made.

David Morrissey

I can't decide between them. Both sites will, hopefully, prove to be very interesting and informative. I can not wait!

Steve Bell

I'm a fan of the crusades & investigate the orders, so little is known about the Knights in the UK, this would offer more for my understanding.

SGH

How can one choose? Anytime Time Team turns a spade is exciting! I am especially keen on the geophys/landscape investigations, experimental archeology, artist renderings, 3D modeling, and of course the dig itself! No matter the site or era, Time Team delivers perfectly packaged brain food! So looking forward to the next presentation!

Robert Wise

The Hospitaller site, by far … it links to a history rich in detail … why, I seem to recall some film maker (an M. Python?) documented their work.

Julie Gray

Anglo-Saxon sites are so sought after. I’m hoping that this literally hits pay dirt.

Jill Hobbs

I am really interested in Anglo-Saxon burial, just having completed a course on Anglo-Saxon England, and having focused my assignments on burial. There is still so much more to find out, and further excavations are the only way forward.

Gloria Carbaugh

Both will be really exciting, but I'm anxious to learn more of the Knight's story/history as the dig progresses.

Warren Feldman MD

Any site you do is great. My only request is that for those of us who live across the pond, it would be helpful if you could explain more as to what these sites mean to the UK and it’s history.

Richard Randlesome

Looking forward to the Anglo Saxon site dig especially as I'm from Norfolk

Carl Johnson

I'm interested in the Anglo-Saxon burial. I'm hoping we find interesting burial goods that expanded our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon culture.

Michael leask

I am interested to see if there is any connection with the knights and henry stclair who passed through Shetland on his way to North America via the old norse route.

Stephen Crump

Can't choose I just love Time Team the history you uncover is fantastic, my late mum told me about you when it first started and I watched every episode, I rewatch them now on YouTube and are loving the new ones keep up the good work.

Michael

You know you're going to do both... ;-)

Candance Reaves

Any and all Time Team digs are fascinating.

the polish dude

Both are exciting but I have to go with Stuart on this,landscape archology is so exciting I share this with Stewie. Thanks Farmer Rich.

Kerry Hennigan

I thought I would say the Knights Hospitaller site, but I do love the Anglo Saxon digs very much, so... BOTH

Sarah Brown

Have to say that I am excited for both because I know little about the Knights Hospitaller and I am always thrilled to see the finds that come out of Anglo-Saxon burials, which illuminate so much which is not currently known well.

Tim Smith

Knights Hospitalier due to a resurgence in their history and background from several channels.

Deborah Foster

What I am also anticipating is the redigging of the sarcophagus.

Mark Freestone

I know pretty much nada about the Knights Hospitallers, so am looking forward to finding out more!

Vernon Kelly

Seems the Hospitallers site would have buried structures, landscape, graves, and buried surprises which would utilize the whole Team's talents.

James Mason

I am fascinated by the Anglo Saxon digs as this is a period about which there is still so much to learn.

Caroline Borduin

Any info on dates for the digs? I've been lax in checking on TT stuff recently. Too hot!

Artesian

I dig knights;

Glenn Grymes

Glad to have become a member of the team; looking forward to the upcoming dig.

Jennifer Miller

I find both these topics very interesting. As an American, we really do not learn about these two topics in school in any depth.

Mara Millman

Can't wait for both, but the Anglo-Saxon graves win out for me. We know a bit about the commoners of the times but it seems not as much of those of higher status, so it'll be interesting to see what the graves and items tell us about their lifestyles. I forget if it was said but did anyone ever find a nearby settlement where they may have lived? If not then despite the heavy odds it would be amazing to have the technology to find all these missing A-S villages one day!

Tim Bend

Anglo-Saxon. I've got a soft spot for "Dark Age" history. There's still so much we don't know, and something like this might help piece together a few more pieces of the puzzle.

SallyMum

As an artist, I look forward to the Anglo-Saxon graves dig-Hoping for finds of their fabulous jewelry, etc. plus the idea of watching such finds being discovered is pretty special. Looking forward to both digs and hope for more!

Mark Fletcher

So great to be part of the time-team family!

Mrs.Thomas

I cannot wait! I wish I could be there in person.

Becks & Andy

Both are really interesting to me, but the Anglo-Saxon is more interesting to me because we don’t have as much information about Anglo-Saxon life as we would like compared to other time periods. Any finds however small I believe will be exciting to us all & brighten the light in the Dark Ages.

Graham Stokes

I am interested in both, but the Anglo Saxon period and discoveries interest me most of these two. Looking forward to both digs and what we learn.

Dorothy Smith

2 in this household: He: Knights She: Saxons

Jessica Wicks

For me, I’m most interested in the Anglo-Saxon site. My hope is to continue to bring light to the so called “Dark Ages”. Also I understand there are nearby Roman ruins. Will it help bring better understanding of that transition from Roman to Anglo-Saxon?

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi Caroline - digs for the new sites in the autumn, more info coming soon...

Gregory Greg

I have excavated several so called dark age sites ranging from 400-900 AD at caerwent to 900-1300 at Castle hill Cambridge. The period is fascinating, especially the very first Saxon immediately after the romans had lost sway.

Lee

Knights. ‘Cos….. knights 😁👍🏼

Julie Turner

Although both sites are fascinating for me, I will put the Knights Hospitaller Preceptory first this time, because this is the kind of site that could reveal a great deal more about a very interesting era. This new site holds a lot of promise for finding out more about a group that played a very important part in the society of their time. Plus, the organisational skills of this group of knights, seem to have been exceptional. I would love to hear more along those lines, if that information comes to light.

Sally Jennings

I have a strong interest in the Knights Hospitaller, having lived in Malta but the Anglo-Saxon site is not to be sniffed at!

Nathan Lyons

Yeah... as others have already noted and I have been harping on about from the very beginning: ANY site that has the potential to elucidate the connections between the Anglo-Saxons and the Roman or Romano-British authorities is beyond important. Sites like this should have immediate, A-1, priority and I can't even see how that's a debate.

Nathan Lyons

Oh yeah. We can't sleep on that one! I feel like they might already at work on it from looking at the background of Tim's last video.

Terri

My husband is voting on this one - He said the Templars are indeed the winner !

Alex Gregory

Saxon for me as there is potential to see what life was like following the withdrawal of Rome from Britain. There is very little evidence out there on this. TT’s big Roman dig did have a few sites on it that indicated life went on as close to normal as it could for a generation or two. But hopefully this brings even more evidence.

Andy Quick

I am always interested in shedding more light on the "Dark Ages" in Britain. Also, the Anglo-Saxon's were wonderful craftspeople.

Peter David Brown

Looking forward to seeing the results from both sites - split vote Kinghts 50% Saxons 50%. Can't wait to see the digs.

Danielle PR

Both! Each has its benefits and as fans/supporters of the show, we‘d be thrilled with both.

JUDITH COOKE

I am interested in the Anglo Saxon Cemetery because it’s in the Eastern Counties. I have traced my ancestry back to here and belong to a genealogy special interest group focussing on the Eastern Counties. I edit the group’s monthly news magazine and I am hoping that I shall be able to report lots of interesting finds and new ideas about the history of the region as a result of the dig.

Chrina Jarvis

Excited to learn more about the so-called Dark Ages!

Richard Munro

Absolutely the Anglo-Saxon site - to bring light to what was once described as the 'Dark Ages' would be wonderful. It wasn't dark as has been declared, just not 'written about'. Yes, please, bring some light to this important time in the history of our island.

Donna Oglesby

Looking forward to both actually, but having been researching my family genealogy for the past 29 yrs now, always interested in the cemeteries. What I am wondering is, do they do DNA with the remains that they do a test on? Always thought it would be great to do a DNA on all of them, and put the results in a large DNA database for other genealogists, like myself to compare to and maybe even attach any of it to our family trees... just a thought, but also another way to preserve the history as well.

David Boon

I have chosen the cemetery but partly that is based on whether bones have survived. Not knowing the soil type and whether bones would have been degraded, I am hoping there will be skeletal remains and the opportunity to do at least a little DNA testing. Ancient DNA is a bit of an obsession for me. Please can we get an expert on the topic to do an online session at some stage as part of our involvement in Patreon? I would love to see a greater follow up after these digs as well beyond the focus on 3D models.

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi David, post-excavation analysis and reporting is a lengthy ongoing process but we do have some upcoming pieces to look out for, filmed in the lab at Cotswold Archaeology following our dig at Broughton. Ancient DNA is a fascinating subject that we hope to explore further if a site offers the level of preservation needed to analyse the data. We look forward to sharing the full post-excavation reports once everything has been compiled and reviewed. The 3D models are one part of a much bigger story that will continue to unfold in the months ahead, so please watch this space!

TimeTeamOfficial

Ps. Look out tonight for the full video from Dani looking a 5 artefacts from Boden, which provides a bit more info on the ongoing post-ex analysis on some finds and what it might help to reveal...

David Boon

Thanks for the update. I am pleased there will be a focus on the post-excavation analysis. It would be great to know what areas are being explored even if analysis is incomplete so we have an indication of what is coming in relation to last year’s digs. I look forward to Dani’s video. I really appreciate everything that has been shared to date.

Simone Fritzen

Honestly, I had to look up, what "preceptory" means. Never heard this word before. Thanks for improving my wordyness ;-)

Connie L Merchant

Both sites. There has to be interesting finds at the Knights Hospitaller Preceptory as Stewart usually finds good stuff. The Anglo-Saxon site because of the potential to learn more from the grave goods and remains.

Daniel Gray

I'm hoping there are enough new Patreon members for a 3rd site

Helen L Robinson

I think both sites will be equally interesting to watch, & I am interested in Anglo-Saxon history due to all my family except me being born in England. My interested in medieval history was ignited by a wonderful history teacher I had when I was about 14, who loved to talk about the Crusades, Knights on horses charging off to fight in foreign lands against the infidel. I know that this Order is sometimes referred to as the Knights of St John which was the name of the hospital in Jerusalem where the Order was founded, so I really can't wait to see what Time Team find!

Greg M

Both will be fascinating. In the Anglo-Saxon cemetery, it would be interesting to know if you can see a shift in burial rights over the years of use and evidence of rights in which "the old gods" may have still been honored (even if only as a hedge/sign of respect in an otherwise Christian burial). Too often we (non-archeologists) think (usually due to how we were taught?) of history as a railway. Our ancestors were polytheistic just rolling along. St X arrives in Y year. Switch is thrown- now everyone is on the Christian line. Intuitively we know that isnt true, but evidence of that "blended" past would drive the point home.

James Davenport

I'm obviously voting for both because I just want more episodes. I think the Anglo-Saxon site will hold interesting secrets and whilst I'm definitely interested in Knights and the crusades, I can't help but think of how much they've been hollywood-ised over the years.

Lou Nathaniels

On the one hand the Templars can be fascinating and on the other from what we have seen on the show in years past the Anglo-Saxon graves, especially the Christian ones needed the fun of the old crew to really spice up with no or damn few grave goods it's just bones. My vote is to leave to you folks, you know what you are doing, that is why we WATCH!

Amy Fisher

Both actually but am particularly curious about the knights and the landscape. Tickled pink you guys are back and hope you have added enough subscribers for a 3rd episode.

Lorna Dryden

I accidentally stumbled on Time team on YouTube and now I’m obsessed!! I’m 61 but I should have gone to school to be an archeologist when I could still bend over!!!

Elizabeth Anthony

Totally hooked on the show too. 75 years old and if I had my life to do over again, archaeology would be in there somewhere.

gary hipkiss

History was always and will always be my Favourite. This show over all the years as been one of my favourites and have replayed so many episodes and never get tired of watching the team explore and discover. Amazing programme

AmpSmashed

Just got my certificate. Absolutely made my day

Anneka Smits

Both very interesting but cemetery just pips it - as a radiographer, I’m a bones person

Peter Farrington

Some years ago when I was on holiday on Malta I visited the Knights Hospitaller's hospital in Valetta, it was quite an interesting establishment with multi-levels for different patients based on wealth. There should be some interesting archaeology below ground if they used a similar format.

Patricia Amero

Trying to wrap my mind around 'The Knights Hospitallers' and I have to say... Well done Stewart! I'm so excited to see Time Team peel back the history of this little-known historical site. 😃👍 (A possible anaerobic environment gets me super-duper excited!!)

Bob Arnold

It's great to see Stewart so excited about a dig. And the older the better, and Anglo Saxon cemetaries are rare, so that's great too. Both!

Elizabeth Neill

I am really excited about more Anglo-Saxon archaeology.
