Thank you for providing such a fantastic response to my question, Helen! 😃

Martyn Williams

Great question, Kate!

Kate Millin

I was wondering what happens on sites once the filming stops. Can you let us know on the podcast

Time Team

Hi Andrew, you can listen to the extended interview now, embedded directly into this post. Enjoy!

Andrew Kidd

I love the podcast. Thank you. I can't wait for the Martin Carver interview. Question for Helen following on from the pot plant topic. At the Wytch Farm dig, Rachel talked about boring holes in pots for water to flow through sand as a way of marking time. Was this common?

Chris DeAngelo

That’s great thank you I will be watching

Emily Boulting

We will be covering lots of the history and background to this extraordinary site in the specials we are editing currently which feature our dig in June. But there are also a few other treats coming your way about the site too. Watch this space!

A question for Helen... Many times on Time Team, the site has been Roman. The foundations of thick walls have been found and Phil (particularly) has said that the building must be two or even three storeys high... So far, so good. But... How did the people get to the higher storeys? I assume they used stairs but I have never seen more than one Roman step that could have led to a higher storey! So, were the stairs stone or wooden? What evidence of their location and size has been found archeologically? What should we be looking out for?

Rosemary Cormack

Thank you. I now have a much better understanding of why Sutton Hoo is such an important archaeological site.

Marcus Alley

I have a question for Helen: what kind of work goes on behind the scenes to get all of your research into the "archaeological record"? I think I saw once that in the Channel 4 days, Time Team was responsible for most of the archaeological academic papers that were being published. Are you still writing papers? You're always recording trenches, and so where does that information go? There must be a big database somewhere... Thanks for all the great work

Martyn Williams

An interesting thought, David. I'll ask Helen. (Martyn)

Steve Mikre

I greatly enjoyed listening to this extended interview...

Not quite true that broken pottery had no use ... did not the Romans use broken pot in their waterproof concrete.

Frank Pellow

Excellent questions. Well done Patreon-ers.

The Sutton Hoo Ships Company is building a full sized reproduction of the ship that was buried based on the imprint left in the sand and the rivets. I donate to this monthly because I think it is a worthwhile venture. https://saxonship.org

Such a great podcast, it depends on what part of the country I suppose your from where us archeology. I’m from eastern pa and we have a lot of Native American things around here and from the first war of independence. In Jamestown Virginia they is an on going project called Jamestown rediscovery. They have been digging up and finding buildings, the first fort built in Jamestown and well has some of the founders of the colony it’s an an amazing place to visit and you can talk to the archeologists while they dig and ask questions. We do have a lot of battle field archeology between the French and Indian war, American revolution and civil war sites all up and down the eastern United States. Great podcast again and does Stuart have any books he has written or recommendations to read?

Gene Henriksen

it is a movie based on fact with some extraneous love affair "entertainment". It is based on the widow who owned Sutton Hoo hiring a self taught archaeologist to do a dig.

Chris DeAngelo

Gene is it a movie or a documentary? Either way I will check it out.

Gene Henriksen

Chris, as a fellow American I would recommend you watch "The Dig" on Netflix which covers the initial excavations in 1939 which were halted by World War II. Essentially, it is the place where a Saxon ship burial was found. These are rare in the UK.

Chris DeAngelo

I followed your live streams for Sutton hoo. And has an American maybe I’m not understanding it but what is the significance of Sutton hoo? Would it be possible to talk about this history of the place for those who can not make it to these sites. Perhaps in the next podcast?

Time Team

Thanks for joining us on Patreon, Peter!

Chris

So much Information, thank you very much.

Man, I remember watchin time team as a kid, because my mam knew Stewart’s family or something and I’ve just rediscovered my fascination for archeology again, so currently working my way threw you tube let me know if your ever up Durham way I’ll lend a hand I
