Thanks Drew, what a kind thing to say! A great question too

Andrew Calderwood

I have a question for Time Team’s own Anglo-Saxon Queen - Helen! I’ve just finished reading Marc Morris’s book The Anglo-Saxons - A History of the Beginnings of England 400-1066. The book really gave me a sound understanding, with its use of primary documents, of how the Anglo-Saxon period played out. Especially, the evolution of the various kingdoms and the eventual influence of Scandinavian culture via the vikings. My question is… Do archaeological finds that differentiate Anglo-Saxon culture from viking culture generally respect the mapped areas they occupied as described by primary sources? Or…is there a more diffuse pattern? Thank you Martyn and Helen! Very much appreciate everyone’s hard work! Drew Calderwood

We love the podcast and greatly appreciate your efforts to answer all the questions. Today we had the delight of seeing the Galloway Hoard exhibition at the South Australian Museum. It was wonderful seeing all those items up close rather than on a screen. As with all good exhibitions it left us thinking. How often were decoy layers left over hoards? Neither of us had heard of this before. As a separate question, and not due to any image in the exhibition, our New Zealand visitors want to know how accurate is the old history book depiction of Vikings wearing horned helmets?

Hi Marianne, I'm not sure the book has a title yet as it's still being written. Keep an eye out for it when it's published. Martyn

This brought back so many memories of my time many years ago doing my degree in classics and ancient history studying Latin,Greek,middle Egyptian and Akkadian and then doing doing a trip around the eastern Mediterranean and Italy to see it all. Thank you so much.Ioved it.

Been following Eyptology since I was 10 years old (and THAT is a very lonnnnng time). Joyce Tyldesley is a gem. Some long-duration questions in my brain have finally been answered. Thank you for this one. :)

I’m rewatching the original Time Team series. Why have we not seen an example of an Iron Age (or earlier) bathroom (or loo!). Where are these? Too old for the archaeological evidence perhaps? 2nd- How do scientists theorize people bathed & what kind of soap could they have made? Has there been any evidence of bathing “kits”. I know that combs have been found, for example.
