Trigian. The Durotriges were the tribe living in that area.

I just watched the first video, which was great. What kind of burials was Jackie talking about when she mentioned the mirror burials? I couldn’t catch the word she used.

🥳 Yay! Congratulations, Time Team! Over 9000 Patreons is fantastic 🙌

Thanks to your comment I've just twigged it was this site and that original trench Derek mentioned in one of the podcasts (or might have been more than one, I listened to several on a long journey last year). Thanks for the link!

There was supposed to be a video released this evening; when?

Time Team

Hi Anna, we have lots of ladies on site too. We've updated the selection with more photos as they've come in.

Danny Skarka

Where do the camera crews go to recharge their batteries?

Anna Schwartz

They’re all men. Not enough ladies on site?

Finds in the topsoil are generally less significant because they are not in a stratigraphically secure context although, as you rightly say, they can indicate the location of a site. However, artefacts can be introduced to the soil in other ways e.g. the use of domestic waste, manure etc. to fertilise agricultural land.

A refresher on chronology is good. Is the British Iron Age different from continental European Iron Age dates and culture? Where did the culture come from? Did it linger into the Roman period? In fact, a basic primer on the sequence of prehistoric ages and maybe a map would be most helpful. It's easy when you're not a student of archeology to get the "ages" and what identified them most mixed up. Just a paragraph and a map would do.

Jude Edling

Thanks for the tip.

hello all the time team and experts (im autistic by the way please be understanding ) wouldn’t it be great if the team went back to several former interesting sites to get more information out of them by applying some of the new groundbreaking techniques of modern archeology with old ones. Do you think combined techniques would bring some final puzzles all together ?

Kathy Shelton

Is there ever any significance attributed to the location of a find within the plow soil layer or is it simply considered unimportant? (other than locating interesting sites)

If you want to watch Derek and Lawrence dig that original test pit, look at their series on youtube, "Career in Ruins in the Field." Corfe Castle is always in the background just like photo #1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvtfxoC-S_g
