In the second half of our latest Site Wrestle session, Tim, Helen, Stewart, Naomi and John take a closer look at the Anglo-Saxon cemetery that we'll be investigating this year.

We have lots more to come here on Patreon, including more insights into the two confirmed sites, plus developments on that all important third site...

Comments

Sheila Sanderson

I’m looking forwards to see this site investigated from all these perspectives. What amazing expertise from all.

Dyana Mason

One of my favorite things about Time Team (classic and new) is how the team is able to bring together small bits of random information (pollen! grave goods! the landscape), to tell the story of a different time and people.

Robert Wise

I’m quite happy to see landscapes brought up! On previous TT1 digs, esp. Roman villas, comments were often made about the wonderful views from the villas. As I interpreted those comments, they seemed to imply that the landscape we see from that spot nowadays, is what the villa residents also saw. I have doubts that is so, and would love to see some evidence one way or the other! Wow! Those tiny snails are quite beautiful!

Glenn Grymes

Hopefully the staff is “dead on” with their speculations per this site. Looking forward to the presentation.

Bob and Pam

Congratulations on making 8000 supporters.(on to 10,000!!)

Karen Robbins

So excited to finally be an official member of the Time Team family! And I can't wait to see this particular dig!

Ann H

Mollusks! Love environmental population data with ruins.

Bruce Gordon

As a silly yank, who binge-watched all the available Time Team episodes in about a two month period, I'm very proud to support bringing back this fantastic series! I've found learning about the workings of archeology as interesting as the greater appreciation I now have for the depth and breadth of British history. If we can just get a cameo with Tony... lol

Ann Wagner

What an exciting moment in history! I look forward to learning much more.

David Boon

I am absolutely bursting with excitement about this one. Such potential.

Eggs Ackley

Brilliant site wrestle, could have listened to this for much longer. I hope Jackie McKinley can help work this dig. Maybe she can drag along an ancient Wessex Archeology digger to assist😉

Robert Boudreau

Really looking forward to this dig. Would love to see Jackie with the Team again, hopefully her schedule will allow it. "Dead in the middle..." Priceless Helen, just priceless. I know it was totally unintentional, but still... just brilliant.

Levy

I love Jackie's bone themed outfits.

Alex Krill

As a former East Anglian myself this site sounds really fascinating! Was the high status Anglo Saxon woman returned to her birthplace for burial, or was she buried in a hurry? The evolution of the location through time and it’s role in the wider region sounds equally fascinating.

Donna Oglesby

I Love Helens " Dead in the Middle" doesn't get any better! Looking forward to the site. Will the concentration all be on this one grave, or will they be digging more than just the one they have been talking about?? BTW Congrats on the 8,000!!

Philip Tidy

I wonder if this wouldn't be a good opportunity to revisit the timeline assumptions between "Roman-Britain" and "Anglo-Saxon Britain". It always seems to be portrayed in popular literature, and many history texts, as an almost "clean break" between a centralised "Roman" service economy and a decentralised "Saxon" subsistence economy with a few miserable years of the "Sub-Roman Britons" being duffed over by Saxon Invaders in between. Yet we know the Romans were establishing Foederati in Britain well before 410AD, and while both Maximus and Constantine III took troops to the continent, neither would have been so militarily incompetent as to not ensure the security of their home base. I would propose that since the time of Magnentius the "Roman" Army in Britain became increasingly reliant on indigenous Limitanei backed with increasingly "Germanised" Comitatenses. What you actually get from (say) 350AD to 650AD is Romano-Saxon Britain in which the styles and habits of the elite shift from "Roman" to "Germanic" and are copied by the majority brythonic population who carry on much as before and the supposed "invasions" are in fact no more than a return to pre-Claudian tribal warfare, which the Romano-Saxons being better trained and equipped eventually won with the Roman "veneer" wearing away to leave just "Saxon". The Saxons are often referred to as "Wolves", but if you turn the Wolves into Sheepdogs, the Sheep won't give you any trouble.

Rosemary Henderson

Really looking forward to Naomi's work on this site - especially the post-excavation info. It's going to be great!

Eelco Kruidenier

Looking forward to this dig. The video started a bit abrupt and ended like wise. Loved Naomi's enthousiasm about this one.

Deborah Foster

This. This is why I support Time Team on Patreon: the interplay of bright, passionate minds as they consider each facet of whatever lost gem and relate its features to elements of the past. Joy and long life to you all.

Lacy Oden

I love every facet that these digs get to take on and all the questions they attempt to answer. I am still particularly excited about all the missing pieces Naomi’s flotation gets to sort out (unintentional puns). The gaps that all the environmental evidence fills in just helps give a more complete picture without as much “conclusion jumping” when it comes to vegetation and other facets of the landscape.

Mike Darby

All good stuff so far, but I would have also liked to have heard more [anything?] from John Gater, about any geophys survey work that might have already been done [teaser?], or issues that would take a pint or three to resolve!

Christie

Excited to learn more!!

Jude Edling

"Dead In The Middle" sounds like an enjoyable mystery novel, while I'd read "Naomi's Mollusk Friends" any day to my little grandson. You are all such engaging, clever people. Thank you for these Time Team Teas and all the episodes and the chance to get to know you and your work.

Elizabeth Neill

I really enjoy the "site wrestles" and in this one, I was especially fascinated by the environmental archaeology Naomi might be able to perform that might reveal information about land use changes from the Roman to the Anglo-Saxon period.

Emma chamberlain

A possible thought: people go back to be buried in the place they grew up. Maybe she wanted to be buried that way. Maybe thats why there is a strange ‘why is she buried there with such highstatus goods but near a farmhouse’ vibe.

Timothy Kendrick

I definitely hope that Jackie will be back for this one if it's chosen.

TimeTeamOfficial

Hi Timothy, you're in luck... the site is confirmed for this year and Jackie will be there with us to share her unique insights!

Mark Mallett

If working closely with detectorists, it might be fun to have Mackenzie Crook and/or Toby Jones show up. If I remember correctly Mr Crook not only wrote/directed the Detectorists, he indeed is a detectorist, himself.

Laura Soto-Barra

I especially appreciate Naomi’s unique perspective. I’d like to hear a master class by her about her job in Time Team.

TimeTeamOfficial

We have more from Naomi coming very soon, discussing animal bone discovered at Broughton Roman Villa.

Alex Schultz

This was really wonderful. Dead in the middle was my favourite piece :) but it was all really cool
