Helen, perhaps you’ve already shared this and I missed it, but how was it that you came to work on Time Team? Did you to finish your PhD while Time Team was on Channel 4? Or later? So curious about how you came to this wonderful team.

Great podcast! Time Team broadcasters faces are obscured by their microphonrs

I have always wanted to hear the story of the large Anglo Saxon Cross on the wall behind Helen!

Please please can we have a suggested reading list after such amazing topics! I know this is adding work to the team but a monthly or episodic reading list would be fantastic. The book club is great but for independent research having a list to get your teeth into would be 🩷

I so enjoyed and want to thank you Helen and Rachel on bringing to the forefront that trap we of modern times have some many times got caught up in, and that is our tendency to interpret/judge findings by our modern ideologies. I have always felt that this tendency has caused many misinterpretations of findings.

Early Irish law recognizes ten, or seven depending on the manuscript, different unions between men and women according to the comparative wealth of their families shown by what they give to the couple, and the degree of family acceptance given to the children from the union. The Christian church is entirely absent from the law governing these unions.

I'd love to see an Iron-age loo brush.
Martyn Williams
Thanks Steve!

Thank you for another brilliant conversation. My mind was blown at the end. We are so blinded by our suppositions. What WAS a wife in Bede's time???? Waiting to hear more.

What is the “C” dna Dr Pope mentions? I had my mtDNA tested, B2f2. Is that what she meant?
Donna Oldenkamp
mtDNA tests are available at FamilyTree.com. I can trace B2f2 8 generations before documents give out.

Will this data be added to Gedmatch or ancestry.com?

Jimmy is a great presenter!

May I propose the hypothesis that the Clacissism bias - as a scientific paradigm - stroke again ? Greek and Roman societies were of one type (e.g. patriarchal, authoritarian), but other types certainly existed, Scientists with different backgrounds come to the field with different biases and data. Hopefully, this confrontation will lead to a reduction of these biases altogether.
