So enjoyable, at any time of the day or night. It is such a breath of fresh air to see programs featuring sensible, intelligent people who love our history and provide so much insight into how our forefathers lived. I love the way Stuart roams the landscape looking for topographical clues but I miss Phil and his passion for walls.

I'd also like to give a shout out to Matt Clark, Time Team's digital modeller. It's easy to take for granted all the 3D models of buildings, artifacts, landscapes, etc. but they are fantastic! I especially enjoyed the incredible detail of the 3D model of the inside of the chapel as it might have looked in medieval times.

So has Matt become the new Phil of the digs? He has come so far since his early days.

After seeing this episode was returning to what I came to love about the programme (a bunch of children trying to find things in the ground - tongue in cheek :-)), I renewed my lapsed membership. Just what I needed. Loved the programme - well done guys and gals.

The stones forming what appears to be a floor are far too heavy duty compared to usual flooring slabs. They are roughly cut and I suggest they were robbed from a previous older structure on the site. Also as I remember the local stone is red sandstone whilst these blocks look more white, like limestone. Has anyone investigated where they came from.

Wonderful stuff - watching all this on Sunday evening made it feel like those Sunday evenings of the past, with the added bonus of the additional screen time.

Hi Sue, this may be Series 8, Episode 7 (Iron Age Roundhouses on Salisbury Plain)? In the UK, it's currently available on Channel 4's streaming service All4 here: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/time-team/on-demand/29766-007 You may find it on other services. Availability in other regions/platforms will depend on the local distribution arrangements. We are working on making more classic episodes available soon. Hope that helps!

Time Team inspired me to take some archeology courses online. I love how your programs provided a solid foundation for taking those on. You are doing a fantastic job inspiring interest in the human heritage. I hope that will always translate into more respect for it and mitigate the attempts to obliterate it with “progress”.

Can anybody help me with the past episodes featuring banjo enclosures please. I really want to watch again and cant find for love nor money!!

Did we get a date from the charcoal found in the bottom of trench 1? Could the difference in depth between the post medieval and this be because of flooding and sediment, ( as suggested by Justin) or even by large scale landscaping? While both of these could wipe out the lumps and bumps of earlier buildings, would it not be beyond belief that an eccentric land owner may have built on the same footprint.

I’m wondering if this was some kind of an oil or cider mill with the substantial floor for grinding and the under drain for excess liquids. The octagonal brick maybe a foundation for a superstructure - possibly a windmill for power? I hope you took some soil samples!

This stone array in a square, level, substantial, implies it's holding up something substantial. I can't see a return at the back, though. The middle is not so well laid. Could there have been a staircase in there? A tower of some sort? A bell tower? Maybe a corner tower to another building? Don't garderobes need a hole to clean them out? You'd need a watercourse for a mill. Don't see one. Overkill for a dovecote. You tell me ;-)

Gladdens my heart every time I hear the theme tune! Thanks…

Time Team

Yes, we're working on it. More updates on the way soon. Thanks

Time Team

Great question! Sounds like one for Naomi or Henry to answer. We'll be putting your questions to the team very soon, so look out for more details.

Off topic ? Is the podcast being updated?

I have a question, but first MY COMPLIMENTS!! I want to say how much I enjoyed the Hospitaller/Halston episode!! I loved every minute, and it was delightful to see everyone back together again working such an intriguing site. OK, now to MY QUESTION. In most areas, three days of digging seemed to just get down to the upper extent of the medieval finds or remains. Might this be partly due to the area being near a stream that likely floods on a regular basis, depositing new soil regularly over the centuries, placing the remains of the period in question deeper than one might otherwise expect? I wondered if a calculation of (avg. # of floods over time) x (avg. deposit depth per flood) might yield an estimated depth at which one might start to expect to find medieval remains, as most of the upper soils we saw exposed seemed clearly post medieval. Would such a calculation allow for some test pits that more quickly go through the upper layers to see what's to be found below the flood deposits of the last 500 years or so? I vaguely recall flood deposits coming up in another episode, and it got me thinking. Curious if this might suggest further digs at deeper depths to see what more can be found.
