We hope you've enjoyed a festive few days, wherever you are in the world. We're now putting our feet up after a busy year, and preparing for another action-packed 12 months ahead.

Just before Christmas, Dani and Naomi caught up for an informal and wide-ranging chat, encompassing this year's digs, a few plans in the works for next year, and some festive-themed archaeology insights.

In this relaxed and unedited fly-on-the-wall conversation, Naomi shares recollections from the sarcophagus dig at Broughton, while Dani delights us with tales of Cleopatra's perfume!

Larissa Spiker

they're both so kind and fun to listen to!

Is there any way to watch/cast his via YouTube as n previous posts?

My Mother dried the wish bone for three day when I was growing up. No idea the source of that (Swedish/German family in U.S.). Herring on New Years for good luck and good fortune.

Priscilla Reeve

Thanks you two, I enjoy your conversations. Happy New Year!

Ann H

Chinese fortune telling with the fire induced cracking of "dragons' bones". Look up Chinese bronze research for sources. Look up Myrrh in a medical dictionary of uses so not just perfume.

It's great to have these extras on patreon. Adds so much to the experience.

JUDITH COOKE

Thanks Dani and Naomi, for all the extra details. I enjoy hearing about the bits and pieces that fill in the story. Best wishes to you for the festive season and I hope 2023 brings you lots more Time Team adventures. (It was 38 degrees C here in Melbourne yesterday!)

Chris Bate

Happy New Year Guyz :)

My Mom always had a couple of chicken wishbones hanging in the kitchen to dry and when she was invited to a wedding shower she would tie one to the gift parcel instead of a fancy bow. My wife & I always enjoy Dani & Naomi's chats and this one was no exception. But we like to watch the videos on the living room TV and that doesn't work unless you upload the video to YouTube.

Merry Christmas and you all are welcome for the support! My family all came from Texas, USA, and we always broke the wishbones for luck, sometimes we waited till they dried, but not always. We didn’t do the touching it while it dried thing tho’. Wherever that tradition began, perhaps is was a living thread through time and crossing the ocean? Here’s wishing us all a far, far better new year!

Kay Theriault

Great chat, and a hearty Happy New Year's and Happy Holidays to all of Time Team and my fellow Patreons!

Mad Mike

Merry Christmas Time Team, Wassail!

Me and my mom used to use little finger around a bone and pull the person who got the joining bone made a wish. Sounds silly but we used to believe it and has far as I know most people in the black country did same.

Marjorie Sloan

My Mum would always save the wishbone and dry it out. You would then pull it with your little fingers and whoever got the largest part got to make a wish. She raised chickens so we would have a chicken for Sunday lunch at least once a month. We did it whenever we had a chicken, not just on holidays.

Anja Adam

I'm originally from Germany but have been living in Norway for a few years now. This "wishing bone" tradition also exists in both countries. And in both countries it is practiced in a similar way: both people make a silent wish at the same time and then simultaneously pull on one end of the "wishing bone". The person who gets the larger piece will have their wish granted. Especially suitable for the New Year celebration ;) Here's to a prosperous and healthy 2023. Skål!!!

Patricia Amero

I hope you see this note, Dani & Naomi... I just want to send out a HUGE thank you for the info & smiles. Your chats add so much to our Patreon experience, and for me, in the cold darkness of the Yukon, they make my day. Happy Holidays to all other TT Patreon people around the world. 2023 is going to be fan-tastic 🍾🥂 Cheers!!

Ann H

I had forgotten the little finger part. We did that too.

Ann H

Oracle bones, Chinese, Shang then Zhou, is a better search. Turtle carapaces, and the shoulder bones of deer or oxen heat cracked with the cracks used for deviation. The divination was inscribed on the "bone" in early Chinese characters. c 1300 B.C. Found by archaeologists. No chickens. Enjoy.

Conan Mills

I know Dr, Jay Silverstein. Hes a good guy and a great archaeologist.

Happy New Year from a fellow Canadian! However, I'm a bit further south than you here in Kelowna, but I originally hail from Saskatchewan so I've experienced some pretty intense winters. I say that because I feel exactly the same way about Time Team. In the darkest, loneliest times I can always rely on TT to dig me out of my hole (pun intended).

Elizabeth Neill

There's a play button here, if that's helpful.

Elizabeth Neill

My best friend in high school was Croatian and she and her mother did the wishbone thing, too.

Patricia Amero

Hello, it's great to meet a fellow Patron from Kelowna, BC, Canada! I've no doubt that you had some intense winters in Sask. with frigid winds whipping across the prairies (square tires & tons of shovelling) TT is a blessing and, like you, helps dig me out of a hole (great pun) Cheers to an even greater 2023 🥳

Patricia Amero

Hi Conan! Happy Holidays to you & yours 🥳

Melissa Rybb

Thank you! I just prefer to watch on tv. Will have to cast it.

Conan Mills

Hi Pat!! Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and your family too!!

Rubys Rose

Hello TIME DIG folks! You’re my preference with Tony & Phil’s return. I moved from paying RUSSELL BRAND’s show, hype but excellent deep dive interviews cause money is dear making priorities key. Happily it’s not much more cost. 😍🥰🌹💕😘

No, it seems to be on pure Patreon system this time.
