Since Time Team has returned, we've transported you back to the Iron Age, Roman Britain, and the early Medieval period, to investigate an Anglo-Saxon Cemetery.

While there's still so much more to share of our Norfolk dig, it's time now to transport ourselves to a more recent period of history... about three weeks ago to be precise!

This weekend, we're heading back to Time Team's dig earlier this September: a Knights Hospitaller preceptory in Shropshire, near the Welsh border. Are you ready? Here we go...

Day Zero

The Data Dome and tents have been erected, the team are arriving on site from all four corners of Britain, and we're getting ready for another exciting three days ahead.

To kick things off, here's our first photogrammetry site map, created from Adam's aerial survey in advance of the team's arrival. On each day, we'll be revealing a new version of the map, overlaying new layers of data to reveal a fuller picture of the site. 

NOTE: Map is strictly for personal viewing and not for distribution or publication!

Am loving all the behind the scenes stuff, it enhances the program. Keep it coming!

Susie Stockton-Link

The drought does have its uses... "substantial foundations", do I hear from John?

David Boon

Really enjoying the updates. I certainly wouldn’t want to receive less.

Jeff Lanam

The map is interesting, but the key is illegible unless I'm doing something wrong. And what's that notch in the boundary on the southwest? Is there a modern reason for it or is it older? Thanks.

Evelyn G Kimbrell

Can't wait to see the geophysical survey overlaid on this. I am thoroughly enjoying the quantity of information being sent.

Steve Mikre

Time Team really goes the extra mile (km) for their Patreon supporters...

Robert Wise

The amount of info and number of emails is just right for me! Feels like TT is getting well dialed in!

Jenna Leigh-Thompson

ooo thats interesting, is there a video on how the map is compiled by any chance, love all these new toys to play with.

Lacy Oden

I’d like to switch to the setting where I get like 30 updates a day please 😂😂😂never enough! Excited for dig one 🎉

Patricia Amero

Me too! I'm considering upping my Patreon account for even more content.... rather addictive 😂

Chrina Jarvis

Love all the emails - the more the merrier!!! Keep 'em coming!

Mark Lund

Looking forward to all the upcoming info. But surely this is an aeriel photo, rather than photogrammetry, i.e. 3D? Have I missed the point somewhere?

Jill Bray - Author

What do you mean - 'too many emails?' Not enough - more please! 😊

Hi Mark, we'll need to defer to our expert Adam to confirm exact details, but essentially this is aerial photography and photogrammetry, in that the image has been created from multiple aerial photos taken by the drone and then later stitched together digitally to create a map of the landscape. Technically it's an orthomosaic image, which obviously means that it has been 'photogrammetrically orthorectified' - remember that one next time you're playing Scrabble!

Mark Lund

"Orthorectified'...sounds like a medical procedure! Ah, so looks like multiple photos creating a larger image rather than a 3D model(?). I did not know that was also termed photogrammetry, but I dont see why not. Stitched together in one plane, rather than lots of angles to create a 'model'.

TimeTeamOfficial

We've got some interviews with Adam coming up, talking more about what he does - photogrammetry incorporates a range of different techniques and ways of collecting/representing data from the landscape, which can be presented either in 3D or 2D.

Robert Boudreau

Lot of interesting crop marks. Will love seeing what John's survey makes of it all, what is actually there.

Justin T Donie

I agree, MORE emails, please! They're wonderful.

Matt Cummins

Yeah, it would be fantastic if, say, they were downloadable.

Hi Jeff, you should be able to click or tap on the map to zoom in.

I look forward to receiving your emails, they are always full of fascinating facts
