Dig Watch: BoB Operation Nightingale (Wiltshire): Day 4

Luke T Jacobs

So much part of the TT culture - and mine, LOL!!!

Amazing job, Matt. I enjoy it immensely. You are really a star.

Gillian Gordon

I’m loving following this almost as it happens, thank you to all involved.

I am enjoying these digs, but, perhaps a personal thing, but there does seem to be contradictions to what we used to hear at other times. Some of this still in living memory, photos to show where the huts were, whole layout etc. Thee clearly must be a genuine reason for the dig, not least the therapeutic help for the veterans, but other than that, why dig it? The history of the soldiers that were there is interest enough. Digging up 'things' small finds, is usually scoffed at as not being what archaeologists are looking for, (on the whole). Dont get me wrong, If a villa or prehistoric site is discovered I want the whole thing excavated...the wrong approach I know.

Jude Edling

People can say there are documents and photographs of this site, so why do archaeology? The finds give us tangible evidence of daily life. I like Hilde's tent post finds based on the geophys. Now they know where tents were placed. This is a great episode and I love the much loved 80 year old monkey. Thank you!

Steve Jeffery

The people said they missed the end of day wrap-ups in the pub, and Matt's selflessly taken it upon himself to deliver. What a star.

Me too.... I love the shirt. Where can you get one?

Bron Lloyd

Richard’s DMDC shirt haha! I have one too.

Doug Brower

Great to see Matt reveling in his role as presenter, after so many uncomplaining turns during TT as medieval novitiate, surveyor’s apprentice, Roman soldier, etc.

Patricia Amero

Another excellent day. Cheers everyone! 🍺

Really enjoying this, and will def share with my brothers (US veterans, one a former Ranger) when this is public, I know they will find this fascinating. As with other sites, I'm struck by the breadth of items that get left behind. The wheel blew my mind!

Henrik Vogt

Excellent series. Yes, Matt, you are a wonderfully skilled host. Thank you.

James D Speckart

These have nicely high production/editing levels. We notice!

Michelle Curiel

Really enjoying this series. My husband is even watching with me because he is interested in the BoB. I love Richard's DMDC shirt.

JUDITH COOKE

Hilde and John have established tent archaeology. Very exciting to watch the broader picture emerging. A well earned trip to the pub!

Jon Colcord

Great to see Hilde in action again! My favorite TT newbie!

Alan Murdock

It's good to see Matt going from the kid that gets stuck with the experiments to the experienced archeologist hosting the dig.

Steve Mikre

I think Matt is did a fantastic job as host and narrator...👍

Richard Kaskeski

I love to see Matt taking charge of the dig,The dig is interesting and brings back memories of my military experience. Thanks Time Team!

Constantijn Prijs

Ann Wagner

These reports from the field are wonderful! This is a great format for telling the story of this very moving project. I hope the veterans are really enjoying the dig.
