Mat is doing a great job on these episodes -as good as the main ones. Just shows the high standard of production that can be achieved even with quick turnaround
J. Andrew Lockhart
Good job Mat! Nice to watch Americans over there. :)

Another great dig watch segment. I knew we'd get Matt portraying someone eventually.

Mark Kahn is a proper military historian. He correctly named the 30.06 holder as a βclipβ (no moving parts) and not a βmagazineβ (has moving parts such as a spring and follower).ππ¬π§πΊπΈ

This dig is so close to my heart. It has brought me to tears multiple times. The 101st's home base at Fort Campbell is near to us and we've met many soldiers from there through the years. My grandfather fought in the Pacific in WW2 and two of his brothers fought in Europe. They were three of seven brothers and they are all gone now. We just had a family reunion and their pictures in uniform were there. It is lovely to see things come out of the dig like a pocketknife, my grandfather always carried one and it did it all - cut rope, pare apples, make hickory whistles, cut a cloth for a bandage - whatever he needed. Having those personal touches in a museum will help to preserve the memory of those brave men, who went when asked.

Amazing how quickly they can shoot, edit and master these shows. Props the Time Team producers!

Brilliant - rain, a coronation and green screen historical re-enactment. And with Stewartβs discoveries, more to come. This has been an amazing experience. What a fantastic group of people to have spent time with.

I am loving every minute of it as well! I would like to comment on the coronation, though. One of the guys said he was enjoying being present for such a historical event, and that we in The States don't have that kind of history here. I'd like to point out, and as archaeologists I'm sure you'd agree, that the Coronation actually is part of our history as well. We, as colonists, migrated to the US from Britain. At least those who are a decendent of the British colonies can consider the Coronation, or at least the roots of the tradition, as part of our precolonial history.

I am enjoying these reports so much! The original Time Team spirit is strong in these team members! Great work, video crew, Matt, Stewart, Kerry, and all the diggers I've missing the names of, and veterans and local archaeologists!
Chris Bate
