Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams talk about the discovery of an ancient Roman knife handle found at Hadrian's Wall. You'll find out why it's not as recent a discovery as news reports might suggest.
There's news from China where analysis of over one-thousand artefacts are only just starting to reveal new secrets about the people of Sanxingdui, in the western Sichuan province. Ling Xin from Archaeology Magazine explains what life might've been like in this hidden Chinese kingdom.
You'll also learn the perfect trowelling technique from Time Team's Matt Williams and the show's creator, Tim Taylor, lets you in on his hopes and plans for Time Team's future.
All that plus an excellent question about stairs in Roman villas. Submit your question to Helen now in the comments section below.

Loved listening to Tim Taylor talk about how time team came about. My question would be was any one from time consultants or help in any way with the short lived time team America?
David J Neivandt
Fantastic, I can't wait to hear the answer! I have often thought that if we could get archeologists in a room (ie pub) with a bunch of physical and biological scientists/engineers we might be able to leverage analysis techniques used in other fields to create new insights into archeological issues, and/or develop entirely new techniques. I have not looked into it, but how for example did geophysics come to be used in an archeological context (was it developed for it, or was it adapted from other uses eg mineral surveying, pipe location etc). The same with strontium/oxygen isotope analysis, dendrochronology etc.
Martyn Williams
A great question David. There may be an answer to this on the podcast which is coming out on 7th January
David J Neivandt
A question for a future podcast if I may. Are there tools/techniques that archeologists could benefit from that don't currently exist, or are not applied in the field, but may be in others? That is, what information would help advance our archeological knowledge that currently we can't obtain because we lack the techniques/technologies?
Martyn Williams
Thanks for those questions Joe. Glad you enjoyed the podcast!
Martyn Williams
Completely agree, Kerry!
Martyn Williams
Thanks Maria. It'd be great to see you as part of a UK dig in the future. Keep up the good work! We're very proud to have you as a supporter!
Martyn Williams
That is an absolutely brilliant question!! Thanks Richard!
Martyn Williams
Excellent advice Matthew. We'll be sure to never be without our branding!
Martyn Williams
Thank you Judith!!

I'm sure the podcast is great but being someone who thinks in word, and what a curse that is, I go thinking about astrophysics or the frog situation in Nurioopta, remote South Australia between Adelaide and Broken Hill, instead of listening. Even at Donald duck speed. Have you thought about posting it as a video, rough edges and all?
Steve Mikre
I greatly enjoyed the interviews with Matt and Tim...

We are long time Time Team enthusiasts and have watched the recording of trenches over the years. Our question is, how will new technology change the process of recording trenches and finds? With photogrammetry, imaging, and GPS, how are there things changing the process of recording and how do you imagine they will change things in the future?
JUDITH COOKE
Thanks for another fascinating and varied podcast. Just Googled Lundy Island, a new locality for me! Good to hear from Tim. May Time Team continue to find new and exciting ways to perpetuate its contributions to archaeology for generations to come. Best Wishes from Melbourne, Australia.
Matthew Adams
Great to hear Tim's view of the future. And yes, I wear my Time Time fleece every day, and *every day* someone stops me to talk about what Time Team means to them (and of course, I tell them that it is back, for free, on YouTube). If you want a nice chat, buy yourself some TT merch.
Richard Hartman
Helen previously mentioned that in her experience, digs were getting hotter. What does archaeology tell us about the changing climate in the past. We know about the Little Ice Age and Kyle Harper in "The Fate of Rome" reveals the causing of changing climate in Europe during the Roman period.
Maria
Such an interesting and informative podcast. Look forward to the next one. Lovely to hear how Team Time unfolded again and was brought back to such a welcoming audience of supporters, which I am immensely proud to be a part of. Would love to be a part of a UK dig one day, as a beginner! I have two Time Team books and I need to update my collection soon! Thank you 🙏
Kerry Hennigan
Another great episode. And the Questions were terrific (especially the one about stairs in Roman villas!)
Peter H
When I read about this I was sure it was Piercebridge, a great Time Team episode. I was fascinated to read that the gladiator appeared to be left handed. You might be able to put a name to that popular hero.
Joe Woods
Thanks for another great podcast! QUESTION: What happens to all the finds after excavations? Is there ever too many finds? I can understand museums wanting to display finds that visitors would be interested in seeing, but what about finds such as fragments of pottery that may be useful for dating evidence, but unlikely to draw crowds at a museum nor have any greater academic significance. Bonus question: I am just finishing a History BA and am considering an Archaeology and Heritage MA at the Univeristy of Lester - is it any good? Cheers, Joe Woods (from Staines originally, now living in Helsinki).
