Paul Blinkhorn…how do we tell the difference between Roman pottery and an old flowerpot when we find them in a field on a walk? Is there a definitive guidebook that might help us?

More seriously ... Ad Gefrin in Northumberland and the site of Guildford Racecourse.

Fantasy dig site for us ... underneath Chester Cathedral. Also, Bedlington St Cuthbert's churchyard (very ancient site). Well you did say fantasy?!

For Naomi what is your favorite discovery? and what brought you to environmental archeology?

I have been watching a lot of old Time Team episodes lately, something that I do every holiday, and I have noticed that you often include the local community or even the local school in your digs. Will you be doing this for the oncoming digs as well? Keep up the good work!

Matt Williams: what advice do you have for an 8 year old boy who owns a Time Team trowel, a metal detector, and an imagination, to stay inspired and curious?

I'd love to know the history; when it was established; who granted the lands; how the site developed; who the preceptors were; and how recently were there remains of the buildings still standing.

What is your opinion of the portrayal of the Hospitallers in Dorothy Dunnett’s magisterial novel series, “The Lymond Chronicles”?

For Stewart, how do you approach doing an initial assessment of the landscape in general and for this landscape in particular? What key indicators do you look for?
