Derek and Lawrence have returned to the site following this morning's antics at Whittington Castle. Our centre of interest is just a few miles down the road, on the estate of the beautiful Halston Hall.

It's been a busy but rewarding Day One. Compared to the Anglo-Saxon cemetery dig in Norfolk, the action got underway promptly with several trenches opened up in quick succession.

The day is drawing to a close, the team will soon be downing tools and getting ready for a well-earned pint (pub scene, you say?).

But before we go, it's time for a Site Walkabout, and we have another fantastic tour lined up...

Mick doll with striped jumper spotted!

Josh Nowlan

Was a pleasure as always to be part of TT, can’t wait for the next one 🙌

Michael O'Connor

What a lovely day, too. I would love to be out there digging with the rest.

Ann Wagner

What a great walk about! This looks like a lovely site with lots going on. But we will be guessing until post production is done, when the juicy stuff won’t be behind farm animal sounds and trowel pictures. Can hardly wait! You have us all good and curious!

Richard Linley

I'd love it if you posted a graphics file of that flag!

Vickie Betts

Will we get a good look at the cloth with the names of supporters, like last year? Was fun finding my name then, & would like to see it again 😁

Charles Weager

I enjoyed this walkabout better than that of the Anglo Saxon grave yard. It has raised questions based on my experience of a Knights Hospitaller Preceptory ( Mynchin Buckland). Mine was much robbed and the stonework can be found in walls and buildings. One set has enabled me to imagine the interior of the chapel, I wasn't able to create a 3D model due to the technology available. Have you found much stonework in the locality, if so have you been able to model anything from it? That chapel on the HaHa suggests that it was either part of the preceptory and/or is hiding something interesting.

Charlotte Edmonds

Foiled the lip-readers with those trowels censoring the spoilers! Very exciting, a great walkabout, thank you!

Mac Whatley

Thanks to Lawrence for randomly reading MY NAME off the Patron Banner!

Eelco Kruidenier

The first video I thought was really enjoyable and useful since I became a Patreon. It is better than all the joking around and chitter chatter videos I have seen so far. More of this please!

James D Speckart

I caught my name on the banner, which is both rewarding and a bit humbling. Nice video guys! I think the best one yet for giving a sense of the geography of the site. I'm happy to have people speak freely but to be bleeped out--I think it helps build anticipation and it's just kind of fun.

Steve Mikre

Time Team's Data Dome is 100% more exciting than Mad Max's Thunder Dome...

Robert Wise

Goat-censored! …. Yeah, and was that last one a cow? Love the innovation!

Ann H

Thanks from the other side of the pond but in the larger digital sea.

Fiona D

Excellent, I felt I was there myself getting a tour.... Some serious stuff and some joking, perfect combo.

Eggs Ackley

Blessings be upon Colour Sergeant Ely for accomplishing all the set-up single-handedly!🪜🛠🪚🪛🧰

Michael O'Connor

Wow, my name "Dr Michael O'Connor" is in the white logo circular border at the top. You can see it just as they are leaving. Thrilled!

Lacy Oden

I haven’t found myself on this new big banner yet. Congrats to all that found your names =) I did find my name on one of the new smaller flags in a previous video and I know exactly where I am on last year’s banner. It feels amazing to read my name on there with all of you! Excited to get a nice photo of the new flag so I can try to find myself.

Dyana Mason

I ❤️ the Mick Aston doll.

Andrew Gledhill

Great video guys. Is that a Police Speed Camera Van in the background in the first segment?

Anne

I agree and once again again Pete Spencer's segment stood out as an engaging and insightful glimpse of current archeological practice in action. His Q&A was the highlight of the rather sparse Anglo Saxon Cemetery footage for me. Finally someone giving us a window onto the archeology and, in this instance, the way big data is impacting archeological practice. This is why I became a Patreon I only wish there was more content like this.

Vigfus Gislason

Absolutely brilliant dig watch tour. Thank you !

Jude Edling

My oh my, what a great introduction to the site! I did get a bit dizzy with the fast camera back and forth between the MickMobile and Dome and Derek & Lawrence near the beginning. I'm so excited to see how this site develops, thanks!

TimeTeamOfficial

18 lines up from the bottom on the left hand side, 3 names in.

Robert Boudreau

Great getting to see and hear from some of the people who work "in the background".

Craig Richardson

Watched my son get married, and had my name read out on dig watch on the same day. This has been quite the weekend so far.

Elise Norwood

Great site tour! And now we have a companion for trench mouth: Trowel Mouth!

Patricia Amero

I saw that! My 1st thought was "...oooo, big patreon to get his name so boldly shown" (still haven't found mine yet) 😄

Bron Lloyd

Big improvement on the sound guys - thanks

Michael O'Connor

LOL, nope, just lucky and got in at the right time!

Justin T Donie

Enjoyable and educational as always. Scrolling up to watch the next ...

Matt Cummins

You've gotta love the lamb noises, though, eh? x

Daniel Gray

I saw my name on the Flag of Fame 2022 !! Just made it that more interesting

Theresa Crubaugh

I love the sheep noise over something that shouldn't have been said! I actually did laugh out loud and hoped more and more folks would cause you to do the sheep soundbite. :D
