Comments
Juley Clark
Site F
John Dunn
Absolutely C! My vote without doubt!
Keith Gregory
C, A, B for me. Really fascinated by the Hospitalers project. That’s a clear winner for me.
Charlotte Edmonds
Voted a while ago (for C) but I don't think I commented. A would be 2nd choice and B third.
Elizabeth Neill
A was my pick as I've become very interested in Anglo-Saxon history--through Time Team--and just wish to expand the knowledge available about the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons.
Sue Oldham
C is my first pick and A my second. Both sound really interesting and a good change from Roman sites.
LouLi
Everything looks wonderful! C was my first pick - already in the polling - then it goes B, A, E, and some jumble of the rest.
D.A. Durrant.
A then C then F. But its all interesting!
Barbara Guest
C then A! Everything is exciting!
Barbara Guest
N
Sam Kerr-Smiley
I voted C but still like E as a runner up, followed by A
June Georgiou
For me C B A but all the sites sound fascinating.
Valory Hurst
We have a hospitalers sire with in a mile of our parish but the Anglo-Saxons even beats that. After all we are named after an Anglo-Saxon, Bassa.
John Smith
2nd choice C it is hard for him to Ainsworth us on day 3 (it's his site ... lol) 3rd choice F hardly any stories of greeks in britian 4th choice D anything roman is always informative :)
Sara Rowland
B as a backup. I am a bit tired of Roman discoveries (seen one you seen them all) and would love to see things from our more recent history about which we know rather little. .
Mary Boulton
A and E as backup choices, please. (or all, if the gods of Budget and Scheduling are kind)
Amy Fisher
C -please. Stewart's enthusiasm is catchy .
Jim Linning
Potemtial sites too biased towards the South of England as were those last year. It's the Knights for me
Natasja Koole
Hospitallers, possible Viking king burial and Greece. (C,e,f).
Marilyn Holloway
A then C then E Enough with the Romans
choklityum
My 1st choice was Site C, but as an American, Site B would definitely be fascinating. I'm always happy with whatever you choose to explore!
Theresa Crubaugh
1st choice C, 2nd F, 3rd A
Kirsten Silke
1st choice: C , then 2nd : A and 3rd : F
Marie Anderson
Having watched the site wrestle videos of the Anglo/Saxon burial and the Knights Hospitaller I feel the KH site would break new ground for TT. My 3rd choice would be the Suffolk village. Your community digs were always fascinating.
Lawrence Tate
How much ancient Greek archeology exists in Britain? That would seem to be something to get around to eventually. Does this pre-date Roman occupation?
Simon Dixon
any Roman remains beneath the housing estate.
Simon Dixon
For me D, A then B. I think it would be worth while investigating and rescuing
Evan and Orion
Village community test pits, please.
Timothy Herwig
I do wonder when the field will stop using the term Anglo Saxon and begin using Early Medieval, Post Roman, or something else. I think the field has firmly established that there was not a near total population replacement after the Roman administrative withdrawal in the early 5th century. As such, the population remained primarily British. What we are really looking at is a cultural shift driven in part by the increase in North Sea trade as opposed with trade within the Roman Empire. At any rate, it would be nice if we could make the change.
Fred Schuit
1st choice: C, 2nd is B, 3rd is D.
Iain Sherratt
Site F second
Betty Nichols
2nd C, 3rd A
Colin Peake
1st: C intriguing, Second D: could it be lost, 3rd B: US connections?
Peter Wallace
1st: C because it's unusual, with a bit of intrigue thrown in about the church. 2nd: A because Anglo-Saxon intrigues me (thanks Helen!). 3rd: C, is attractive with the potential for an interesting global story. 4th: E, I love the community based digs but not clear what this one might produce.
Mark Lund
Site 'C', borderline first. then Site 'A', then 'B'. All 3 look exciting/interesting, and given the other choices, last years Roman site was great, but another so soon? Please stay in the UK for now, given the resources, or maybe lack of, and I'm fully prepared to be proved wrong but the community test pit site doesnt thrill me...(no good reason). Still a great choice again, and any and all would be brilliant.
Joan
Id like any prehistoric site, please.
Karen Kelsky
Voted for Knights Hospitallers but #2 is the Anglo-Saxon site. However, as an academic, I want to ask why you're using the term "Anglo-Saxon" in light of the past years' controversies re white nationalism? Have you talked about that choice in a video somewhere? Thanks!
Jason Barnsley
Here’s a dumb question: instead of just saying we need to reach 8000 patrons, what about saying to the current patrons if we increase our giving by x%, we can add the third site. Also, have you approached billionaires like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk for financial grants? And for gods sake, can someone please dig up Phil Harding for at least one dig this year? I know his knees are probably shot from years of digging, but he could be a consultant, or elevated to commentary or co-host duties.
Carrie Beesley
Lets finally get the anglo saxon site we've all been wishing for these last 25 years!
John Novak
Second choice B, then A. The Greek site sound fascinating, but one that I feel TT's usual format wouldn't be able to do justice to; while the community sites are less compelling to me as a non-UK resident, especially since they wouldn't allow the full range of investigation that a larger site would offer.
Jason Mann
For me, it's second choice A and third choice B
Rebecca Fletcher
Second choice C, third choice B
Yvette Reece
Second C Third A
Jeffrey James Smith
Site E would be my second choice as assisting community digs encourages participation, in this dig and future.
Nameri Verdstela
Knights Hospitaller for me. I volunteer for St John Ambulance!
Alicia Grando
Second choice A, third C
Martin Burch
Second choice is F, third is D (if the “Dig Village” means the show will be in the format of a Time Team Live (but without it having to be “broadcast” live)). First choice was C.
Jennifer Hughes
Second choice is B, third is A
Timothy Sproule
Second choice is F (I'd like to see Time Team outside England), and third choice is C (I have a personal interest in the Crusader Knights [1st choice was B])
André Beuving
My second pick is F, the third is B. There is so much to explore abroad, as evidenced by old Time Team episodes. 😉
David Long
Second choice is B, third choice is D.
Arie Dijkhuis
My 2nd choice is A, my 3rd choice would be B.
Penny Campbell
2nd choice is A, 3rd would be F
Matt Valentine
1 B, 2 A, 3 C, 4 F
David S Shields
C is 2nd choice, D is 3rd choice
Keri Campbell
Second choice A, third choice B
Simone Fritzen
Second choice: F
Nicole Benjamin-Ma
Second choice C!
Dale Larson
Second choice would be E
Philo Marx
Second choice would be C. Happy with anything!
Teresa Rutledge
Second choice is C
Toni Hunter
Second choice A
Mike
Second choice B
The Fur Trade
Second choice E, third choice B
Mark Orgill
Second choice D
Louise Bannister
2nd choice F, 3rd D
Deborah Harding
Second choice B.
Vin Hill
Second choice is F.
Eggs Ackley
Second is E, third is F
C. Miller
Second choice: F
Erik N
F, C, A, B
Donnalyn
Second choice: C
Alan Justice
B, E, A, D, F
Jan McIntosh
Second choice A
B Grant
Second Choice, a Big E for the Community Test Pit
Melody Jane
2nd choice F, 3rd choice B
Amber Crouch
2:a ; 3:f. But all sound interesting
Nathan Davey
Second choice E, third choice F
Richard Hunt
2nd choice: A. 3rd choice: E. But all these sites sound good.
Katie
Second choice E. All excellent, as usual!
Heather Torrey
D and E are my favorites. The challenge of uncovering history under modernity is something we face in my hometown also. And the community dig is a very special idea.
David de Groot
2nd Site F - very exciting, if different to the normal TT. 3rd Site E - the community aspect does appeal somewhat
Andrew Gledhill
Hi all. Again, I don't like the Patreon Poll System. Its bad when we can all see which site has the most votes. It makes you think its a waste of time voting for the ones with the least votes. But I voted for B Medieval. Purely because everybody seems to vote for Anglo Saxon and Roman. I have no idea what a Knights Hospitallers Preceptory is BTW?
Margo Lynn
"F" does sound cool, though.
David Boon
My second and third choices after A would be D and E because of the potential for community involvement. I am not so sure about the site in Greece. What I love about Time Team is the diversity of British sites and how each dig adds to the collective knowledge of British history. There is so much scope already within the potential British sites and the costs of an overseas dig might be better put to deeper analysis of the British digs or even an extra dig.
Jean-Paul Tolley
Second choice would be A. Third choice would be E.
Emma chamberlain
2nd: A 3rd: C
IJnze Kalsbeek
Second Choice would be A.
Maggie Bateman
A ...so much more to discover about Anglo Saxon England. D...next I love a test pit and getting everyone involved !
Tom Stringer
My first choice was site D- I like the idea of community archaeology. Choices two and three were A, then F (in that order)
Forrest B. Boothe
I chose the Greek site, followed by C then B
Lawrence Townley-Smith
I picked C, followed by B and A. There are no bad choices.
Kathryn Sherlock
I vote A, C, then B
Christopher Samuel
A was my first choice, but then it gets really tricky! I reckon then D & E tie for second, then F then B & C are tied for me. But they all sound great. Good luck!
Kurt Thomas Hunt
This was the most challenging decision I've had to make in a long time. Honestly, I don't think there is a wrong decision in the lot. Best of luck wherever you end up; we'll be watching!
Skip A Apple
Greeting to all. I am a Knights Templar. Make my choice even more interesting.
Phelim McIntyre
My second choice is the Abbey site, partly because of it being Medieval because Prof Aston would have been all over it. As for the Greek site, getting certain Archaeology magazines keeps me up-to-date with the various excavations that are ongoing over there. As such I can't see how it would add much to the ongoing narrative and understanding. Yes it might be pretty and produce "nice" finds but I am not certain convinced that it would be more than that.
Anne Collinson
Yes second choice is C followed by F
HB Murphy
Second choice is Site C: I love the mystery that goes with it! Third choice is Site F: who can say 'no' to a Greek Dig??
Lukas Muehlethaler
My second choice would be Site F: A multi-period ancient Greek settlement
Keely Hammond
2nd would be Greek excavation
Peter Blay
My second choice would be the Greek excavation
Ruth Coffin
Second site B and third site C. Loving the new shows very much. I am not a fan of Anglo Saxon history at all so any of the other suggestions really are good for me.
Kofi burks
Second site E, third F. loving the new series so far but E would get back to alot of the community involvement from the original series.
Paul Musselwhite
First A, second C and third B
Paul Musselwhite
First A
Richard Albert
I believe that this (Greek) dig is extremely important. It adds much needed expertise, exposure and resources to an in progress effort. The understanding of the foundations of ancient cultures is paramount. Greece is critically important. The modern language is an isolate. Greece is the only modern country that routinely produces resinated (Retsina) wine. Understanding of the tenacity of such social values and traditions depends upon the revelation of the antecedents in great and exquisite detail.
Lacy Oden
Would love to see site wrestle video for these before I vote. Did I miss that?
Connie L Merchant
#1 = B because there is an opportunity for a variety of finds; #2 = F because Greece has so much history to find; #3 = A because Anglo-Saxon is always interesting to see if there is any new info to be had; #4 = C because the earthworks sound exciting; #5 = D because a Roman site was just completed; #6 = E because, although a possible burial site of a Viking king could yield a nice number of finds, history and village development might be obtained from the other proposed sites--?.
Melissa K.
I voted for Site E because the community test pit episodes have always been so much fun, with unexpected items appearing in the test pits that lead to intriguing puzzles for Time Team to solve.
Paul Marr
These all sound very cool - I picked site F but site A sounds very interesting too. Think Mick Aston would have loved any of A,B or C!
Arn Manella
I am a Knight of Malta (Order of St John of Jerusalem-Hospitallers of the Crusades) and relish any archeology associated with the Order. I will be traveling to Malta in September to climb in and around the less well known forts and keeps.
Richard Munro
First in the Anglo-Saxon site and second would be the Ancient Greek settlement
Emily Laase
My first choice was the Anglo-Saxon site (A) due to the possibility of burials because osteoarchaeology is my favorite (more skellys please!), but the unknown preceptory (C) also sounds fascinating! Looking forward to finding out more about whichever site is selected!
Ann H
At some point I wondered if New England Stonehenge might be of interest. Less rain but more black flies, and perhaps flaky. https://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/6-mysterious-stone-structures-new-england/
Ann H
From outside Boston, so envious and no you are not overdoing it.
Richard Lisle
First: B - Mick Aston would have loved this. Second: C Third: F
Kernowes
Second choice C, third choice D.
Nic Simpson
Second choice Site C: A Knights Hospitallers preceptory in the North of England
Terhi Törmänen
2nd choice: F, 3rd choice: C
Malcolm Hitchens
Second choice Site E: Village community test pit site in Suffolk
Martin Ridgway
2nd: E because you never know what you'll find, 3rd: A. But first must be F: I can't remember any talk about Greek finds here so that's got to be new ground.
Timothy A Gouveia
First is C. 2nd is B since I'm from the US but please don't feel you need to cater to us, I love Time Team for being Time Team. Is D a housing development being build or already built? If you have a narrow window then by all means, if not then E sounds like the sort of thing that gets a new generation excited about Archaeology. In any event I'm sure it will be be great Television
Ben Rush
I chose A because I know so many of the archaeologists love their Anglo Saxon (and maybe we could get another great hall!?). But seriously, number two would be Greece. A great opportunity.
Justin T Donie
A=1, F=2, C=3
Dinah from Kabalor
2nd vote would be D for community involvement and insight into early villages; 3rd vote would be A for further expanding our ability to detect and understand Anglo-Saxon sites.
James Dunham
2nd vote would be Greece (Site F) & 3rd is Anglo-Saxon (Site A)
Sue Murphy
2nd choice Knights hospitallers, 3rd Greece would both be an exciting dig for me personally
Andy Quick
The site in Greece sounds interesting as a second choice. Something a little "out of the box" for Time Team, although I'm sure there is enough expertise on the team to make a big contribution.
Cynthia Clearwater
second choice is village test pits site E
Gail Dausener
Second choice is D.
Mark Stephens
If the 8000 target is reached, I think A, B, and C should be the three sites.
Le Scoob
Is there an official Discord channel for Time Team? It would be a great place for people to chat in general about ideas and their love of the show.
Erica Griffith
i'm really very interested in all three of A B and C. I would've put a vote for each if I could have.
Terri
I would have loved to vote for the Saxon (A) and for Priory (B) as well. Thank you Tim and Time Team for letting us have fun with you!
Richard Kaskeski
Hi there farmer Rich here. 2nd choise A third B thanks.
David Duncan
2nd choice is site C.
mary eld
If international project help establish a strong Patreon base and reputation for the new format then Greek while the option is there. USA link would be a whole extra dimension and I think it should move North in the UK - B: Midlands Priory 2nd choice and 3rd definitely Village dig project -C: Knights Hospitallers. I shall enjoy watching which ever are chosen and really hope we'll get updates on progress on the local groups at the first 2 sites (go beyond the 3 day blitz to see what else comes from it).
Emma Cooper
Would love to see Time Team doing a test pit site again. Loved watching them getting involved with the community!
Robert Baker
Shame that you can't do them all
Susie Stockton-Link
The Knights Hospitaller site - about time a Northern site was investigated! However, I could have plumped for A, B, D or E - I do love the Team turning up astonishing things on people's back gardens! NOT Greece, for a number of good reasons: with 42' in the Med already, extreme climate and wildfires is a major concern: I would also rather Time team investigate what's in the British Isles.
Davey
second and third choice C and A. Trying to keep in mind the inevitable need for popular marketing and not a subjective choice. what sells and keeps Time Team going..?
David Morrissey
My follow up selection are Site C followed by site A then site B.
Time Team
Hi Jon, we'll be sharing more detailed info on sites in the upcoming Site Wrestle sessions.
Jon Colcord
I wish there were better descriptions of what each is suspected to have and what they would entail. My preference would be economical digs which would allow *more* digs! I voted for the community test pit dig. My favorite episodes were always those that Mick would do with local communities. There’s nothing more fun than that. I just love seeing Time Team destroy gardens and flower beds!
Richard Gemmell
My follow up choices are F, the Greek settlement and A, the Anglo-Saxon site in Norfolk. Keep up the good work!
Matthew Hauck
1st=Roman, 2nd= community test pits, 3rd= Knights Hospitallers
Linda McClure
I don't recall any Greek sites in the past, so I find F fascinating! Pretty much any of the others would be my second choice.
Dorothy Smith
2nd choice = F, 3rd choice = C
Mark & Jill Jefson
2nd choice - E / 3rd choice - A
Carol Edwards
The Knights Hospitallers site sounds interesting and new, so it gets my #1 vote. I also like the village community test pit site in Suffolk to add enthusiasts to archeology as well as knowledge. Before I started watching Classic Time Team (streaming) it just had not occurred to me that Britain has thousands and thousands of years of history, all stacked up on an island. I live in the US, and our focus has, unfortunately, been limited, partly to ourselves and partly to Western European "civilization". I have learned so much!
Marcus Hill
Hmmm, I stumped for the Anglo-Saxon dig. But I've always enjoyed the digs where the community got involved so D&E for 2nd and 3rd choice.
Chris Horne
After (A) then (C), like to see more the North and that particular period.
Steven R Hamman
Let's get back in time!
Derek Barham
C because who knows?
Tonya LaFountain
2nd: Site B, 3rd: Site E, 4th: Site F
Ray Barker
Choice F would be my second choice.
Uwe Schwinghammer
2nd: Site B
Peter & Julia Bradbury
C first but we quite liked the sound of F
Martin Nuttall
2C 3B 4E
Bob Benton
c and then A
Pamela Moore and Robert Coleman
Then A and C
Robb Dods & Monica Ross
We picked D because we enjoy seeing the community involvement on the shows. Plus, it is always cool to see someone's back yard, or a parking lot dug up to find a ruin. Site A would be our second choice.
Robert Anthony Faulkner
C then B and E
michael purcell
C then B then A
Rik Kershaw-Moore
first would be F as it sounds fascinating... 2nd would be E (as community support is so important) and 3rd would be site C.
Julian Dolina
Second choice would be A and third F. Looking forward to it, whatever it will be!
Jessica Page-Thomas
2nd Choice would be C and 3rd choice F. I loved the digs Time Team did abroad!
Frances Dielmann
Second choice A
Ingi Jensson
C - E - F Since I currently live in Malta and interested in their history, I've voted for the Knights Hospitallers :)
Richard Moss
I chose C as I'm northern. But A was a close second. F only if I can go too!
Conan Mills
Other choices C and B
Nigel Scott
A as my first choice but F sounds fascinating. I'm always up for a bit of Roman as well! Mind you having just been to Arles, Le Pont du Gard, Vienne and Lyon I may be overdoing Roman ruins!
Crumpled Rag
A, C, B
Steven Pryce
Second choice, A, then F
Bacail Shadowstran
C first then A
Jill Hobbs
Second choice - D as I am very interested in Roman sites in the UK, and this sounds like a community project in the making.
Sonia
Second choice C. Not so keen on non UK (am australian) - not that they are not important - but I feel there is so much that needs to be done in UK, and there is so much less investment around for these projects at the moment due to Brexit/current economic situation in UK.
Annmarie Musselwhite
A, C, D, B in that order as all be good
Lynn Edwards
B is my first choice with C second and F third. But all of them are fascinating, interesting, enticing...
Melissa Spray
B would be my second choice. with E as a third.
Dave Mccallum
Other choices C & B
SamH
Second F, third E
Keith Johnston
Second choice E, third B, fourth A
Lynn Charlton
2nd choice E as getting everyone locally involved appeals to me. 3rd choice is B as I like the idea of intercontinental links.
Goijaart van Dijk
As interesting as Greek archeology may be, it's nothing new. I mean, stick a shovel in the ground and there is archeology. I voted B, because I am very curious how a medieval church was build in the USA! My second choice would be E, because we need a good, old TT with a whole village participating. Make good use of the two presenters!
SCOTT BRADLEY INGRAM
2nd Choice A, 3rd B
mark cox
Site A looks great. Using modern archaeology survey equipment, and seeing more post excavation analysis to add to Anglo Saxon knowledge would be great. A. E. and F. my top first equal choice
Wolfgang Zenker
I would LOVE to see all of the sites done, but as I can only choose one I go for E, because it seems to me to have the best chance to involve the local population and raise interest in archaeology and Time Team.
Time Team
HI Lester, the Greek site is not in Britain, it's in Greece itself! Details of each site are in the previous post. Thanks
Kenneth Brawn
B, C & E in that order. They all look extremely interesting because of the connections.
Donna Oglesby
B/D/ and F are good, But thinking F is important since I do not remember, after re-watching all the older Time Team shows, [ on my 3rd time around currently ] remember them EVER doing anything concerning a Greek settlement. Most of the time it is places that have Roman, Saxon or Midieval , never anything Greek, so again, as I stated before, would be very interesting.
Donna Oglesby
If I had two other choices I would choose B and then F. I don't believe that anything was ever done concerning any Greek Settlement that I have ever seen on Time Team, so think that would be very interesting
Francis Palmer
2nd Choice is A for use of geophys, 3rd choice E to develop community involvement.
Lester Peterson
I wanted to know how and when Greeks settled in the isle
Michelle Watson
So many good options, my 2nd choice would be B, 3rd F.
George Parker
"2nd choice site C
Cosette Ratliff
2nd choice would be site E, 3rd choice is site F. I love the cultural exchange factor in all of these
Val Sharpe
My second choice is B ,due to the US connection and 3rd choice is F, allowing for links with overseas culture.
Kay Theriault
My second choice is Site B. The connections to the US would be really interesting, and Site E's connections to a local area and the local citizens' involvment would also be interesting to see what's turned up.
Lyle Walker
My other choices would be E, F and B. Seeing the community involvement (E) should make interesting viewing, although I plumped for Preceptory first because it sounded intriguing. A Greek excavation would be interesting for a contrast to UK archaeology.
leslee hackenson
My #2 would be: The Anglo Saxon Site #3: The Roman building beneath the housing development to keep it from disappearing under some modern nonentitiy.
Chris Siegmann
Oops! I read my emails out of order. Some questions above were already answered!
Chris Siegmann
I'm surprised D isn't getting more votes. Once it is under the development it will never be seen again. Unless it's in another few hundred years when future archeologists get to dig the Dorset development. The Greek site intrigues me. Where is it exactly? If it's in Greece is there any link to Britain? A for third. But that depends on just what time period that might cover.
Ruth Ann Copley
2nd Site A because Anglo Saxons are fascinating and the site promises more extensive information. 3rd choice Site E with community village test pits since they offer the possibilities of undiscovered history within the local community and great to have local citizens involved.
Chris Hope
I love the idea of the mystery choice, the test pit E, and including the community.
Kim Garza
1st = E; 2nd = A
Natasha Wu
First choice is the Knights Hospitaller in the North of England! Second and third choices would be the multi-period ancient Greek site and then the medieval priory!
Stephanie Pratt
My 2nd choice is B because of US links; 3rd choice is C.
Jonathan Sturm
My first preference is for the Anglo-Saxon village because that’s the period that interests me most. OTOH the professional development opportunity of sending the team to Greece is my second. I’m certain that whatever site(s) are investigated, the results will be fascinating.
Janie Waters
I chose C, because it's something new for me. But, I'm a sucker for anything Roman, and anything "community" related. What a difficult choice :)
Jenna Tomlin
My 2nd choice is Site F: A multi-period ancient Greek settlement
Seda Mcclurg
2nd. C.
John Traphofner
I clicked B as the "links to the US" has me intrigued, but honestly, we can't go wrong with any of these choices.
Fern Wilcox
2nd - E, 3rd - B
Mea Cadwell
2nd - B, 3rd - A
Debbie Williams
I would also like the Greek settlement because I have studied a lot of Greek history…and the test put site in Suffolk because the community has been interested enough to already begin.. so it must be I interesting‼️
Julie Turner
2nd A; Third C. This is a wonderful choice of sites, any one of them would be interesting!
Allen Micheal Hope
1st F, 2nd A 3rd C. Greek archeology is so interesting!
Tor Ravengael
A, because burials. D, because "Dig Village." F, because international.
Martha Bace
2nd C... 3rd F
Patricia Amero
C- Knights Hospitallers... is my 2nd choice 😊
James Leighninger
C or F
Sally Ramey
First choice B, because Templars!!! And I love Roman digs, so I picked D. Then F because it's so different from other digs.
Janet Underhill
Second choice is A, third is C.
Kerry Hennigan
Second choice A, third choice F
John Marshall
First choice is F followed by site B and then site C. Thanks for seeking our input!
Stephanie Stewart
2nd B, 3rd F
John Appel
I chose E, because the community test pit episodes have always been full of surprises, and an experience that we here in America generally can't have. I think my second choice would be Greece.
NZCharlie
Chose d because if it's a housing development it'll be covered up and never explored. Second would be the test pit because who knows what's there!?!? Third the site with links to the US because that seems interesting.
Kit Heinrichs
Second for me is F, third B.
Chris Mathews
Second is B (I'm in the US), third is E. I love seeing the community involved.
Lesley Swann
Second: F Third: E because Vikings!
Angie Tidy
2nd B 3rd F
Gloria Carbaugh
Second F. Third B.
Ian Smith
Second choice B, third choice A
Nigel Bell
First choice: F - Second choice: E.
Pauline
Second choice is A
Joanne Carrubba
#2: C, #3: A
Carl Johnson
Site B, Site A
LexFi
2nd A, 3rd C.
Eileen Lavoie
Second choice A. Third choice B.
Steven Meeks
Second choice is c. Third choice A
Graham Adamson
The fuller picture we have of Anglo-Saxon settlement the better .
Alan Murdock
2nd is A, 3rd is C.
Peter Hawker
2nd C 3rd B 4th A
Wendy Harper
Second choice is C
Melissa Gordon
F is #2 because how often do you find Greek sites in England!
Paul Connelly
Torn between A + C - Chose C
Rhonda K Hageman
Second choice, D; 3rd choice E. (Not at all interested in Knights Templar!)
Jean Buckley
I voted for C, but A is a close contender. This is so exciting!
Dave Decker
Voted c, quite interested in b. Thanks!
Linda Johnson
Second choice is F: sounds very interesting. Third choice is B
Paul Isles
2nd B, then F
Elaine P
2nd=A, 3rd=E, 4th=B. Though any of A-F options would an exciting winnter. But for A - links to Sutton Hoo? More geophys?! E and B - full disclosure, I'm in the U.S., so the possible linkages to the U.S. are intriguing. I'm a member of Colonial Williamsburg and always found their articles (from their now-defunct Journal) on connections between the colonies and England very broadening and illuminating. Learning of connections even further removed is like a cherry on top! Further to E, I would love to see some more community involvement, I admit I live vicariously through them, but in teaching the community, we all learn, as well. And it's heartwarming to see people so interested in their history, I have to support anything that aids in that discovery.
Kathie C
Voted C, but second would be B as it sounds interesting and third would be A as I'm sure that's Helen Geake's choice and she's just great.
Julie Walton
2nd is B, then F
Margo Maloney DVM
Second choice: C
Hunt
Voted for A, but the Hospitallers' preceptory (C) would also be fascinating.
Always86
Greek Settlement would be fascinating. C and A equally interesting to me. Priory’s we’re never that interesting to me.
bil Jeschke
May second choice is site A, then site C. I really like sites with local interests and support. But I would like to give you all a trip to Greece as well. 🛫🕵️♀️
Jan Hollon
Second choice would be option C
Hannah Farmer
I voted for C but second choice would be B. I’d love to see some medieval archeology this year.
Fiona Cottam
Second choice A, third choice C
Gary Norman
This was a difficult one to choose. The medieval priory site sounds fascinating as I'm very curious as to a US link?! The Knights Hospital let's sounds tasty too, and the ancient Greek site because I was unaware of any Greek settlements in the British Isles.
John Archer
I voted D as I like the idea of the Dig Village, with the local community getting involved, doesn't seem to be a very popular choice though so far! Option A and C after that.
Darylyn Phraner
My favorite shows have always been the one where multiple test pits involving the communities because isn't that what time team was all about was educating the communities and I think that that hasn't changed. Although I'd love to see the Greek site or the priory too
Yehsure
Second choice F then A.
S. Douglas Baldwin
C, B and then F. My partner loves "Middle Ages" digs and we're due one. F because doing something unique just sounds so fun!
Matthew Johns
Option C followed by F and A.
thrushgreen
In honor of Mick Aston, E,B, and C. Test pits with local village participation, and a priory would be most fitting and his preferences as well! As he will be watching, let's give him some joy!
Jenny O'Connell
Option C followed by A and D
Paul Brekke
I voted primarily for the site in Greece, because I would love to see more TT outside Britain, and periods and cultures not often seen in other TT episodes. Second choice is the uninvestigated Knights Hospitallers site - I like those "blank canvas" TT episodes where the story evolves, twists and turns underway! Third choice is A, the Saxon site. Though if you guarantee Sutton Hoo-quality finds, this jumps up to number one! :-)
Doug Lucey
2nd choice = site B, 3rd choice = site E
Su Maneck
For options, I think C sounds really interesting, as well as F!
Paul Wardman
Second choice A then F, but was very difficult decision.
Nik Whitehead
Definitely C, although A and B also look very interesting.
Lucy Huntzinger
My second choice is the Anglo-Saxon site, but it had to be Greece for number one!
Mike Dyson
I think you have given us some difficult choices. Links to the US would create extra interest from your American subscribers as well as being of interest to us Brits. Greece would be a nice jolly, but I don't think what you can do in three days would add much to what appears to be a large, ongoing programme. So my choice would be B, C and A in that order.
Martha Gayle Caparell
My second choice would be site B with my third, site C. Thank you!
Caleb Warner
F is my second choice, then A
Freda Bradley
Knights Hospitallers is my second.
Peggy Zwisler
My second choice is the medieval,priory with ties to the US.
Daniel Defoe
My vote is D then F then A. All would be great for the knowledge gained but I feel those three in that order would be best for expanding the community.
Gillian Brown
1st Choice D cos the Romans are the most interesting to me personally. A and E are my second and third.. ancient Greek settlement in Britain? is there such a thing? or are u going to Greece? I think one episode there were evidence of a Greek doctor's implements. I thought the dig in Southern France looking for Beaker people evidence was tough ..where are my diggers asked Phil? and inconclusive and seemed like a bit of a waste of time. If prefer we stick to Britain and/or Ireland.
JFF
Thanks for options my pick is C, followed by D an then B
Jennifer Breshears-Smith
Second C, Third F. Appreciate the opportunity to vote and the Time Team Community!
Peter Farrington
My first choice is the Knights Hospitaller's site in the North, my second would be the Medieval Priory with the links to a similar site in the US and my third would be the Multi-period Greek site with the hope that it has not been assaulted by that German Grave-robber who made a mess of Troy.
Margaret Kipp
I would really be interested in some Scottish sites
Gillian Brown
you have a lot more info than the poll .. some interesting stuff
Dayna Cordano
I pick F as my second and B as my third. All of them seem great!
Paul Miller
Second C, third E, but really any of the above!
Therese Marie Edman
I would really like F as my second choice, going abroad and seeing other traditions of archaeology could be fun. And B seems very interesting too. Actually they all do!
Jane Anders
Second C, third A.
Andrew Ratcliffe
First choice was C, second would be A but what do you know what period Anglo-Saxon? It is more than 600 years so from about Battle of Agincourt to now. The earlier the more interesting. Could be swayed.
Jon Ainsworth
Second is B, Third is F!
Julian Elcock
1st A, 2nd B, 3rd C.
Martin McGarrity
I vote for the Romans..I always do. But where ever you want. I just want to see more. Thanks for remaining true to the program and fighting for its return.
Simone Fabisch
Second choice is C, if a third dig is possible my choice would be B
Andrew Calderwood
Second choice would A and third choice would be F!
Time Team
More to come from Broughton...
Bob and Pam
Second choice was B. All great possibilities.
Denise Jones
Second choice is F
Julie Kistler
My second choice is A and my third choice is B
Olivia McGerty
I think my second choice would be F the multi. Ancient Greek settlement.
Brian Shrum
It's Not on the list now, but could you go back to Broughton Manor House for a full investigation? So many weird doors and passageways.
Katy LeBlond
My second choice is A and my third choice is C
Richard Stedall
second choice is C whilst if there can be a third dig then F - the overseas "specials" done in the past were always interesting adding a new dimension to the "normal" shows
Mick Holden
The Greek settlement was my first choice, primarily because it's something that has rarely been covered (if at all?) on Time Team, so it would be fresh ground to cover. Second to that would be the site with links to the US. Our heritage is so closely intertwined, I would certainly be interested in making new discoveries. Cheers from Texas!
Ian Wolf
Second choice, C; Third choice, B.
Priscilla Logan
Second choice is B, being from California USA sounds very interesting.
Sue Tweedie
B and E are the second and third choices from me. Who knows what garden test pits will unearth- and in East Anglia. But A gets my top vote. Anglo Saxon again in East Anglia. Love it, whatever is chosen
kevin vermeulen
D then A would be my next choices.. They all sound interesting.
Bernhard Rohrer
My second choice is Site B, because medieval link to America is just fascinating. Choice number 3 is Site F- similar reasoning: Greek site? In the UK?? How fascinating.
Derek Thom
I chose C but E would be my second choice and B my close third because it links to our USA supporters
William Tinney
It seems to be a loosing cause, but I chose the village community test pit. The Greek site is fascinating but TT's MO is quick survey work, not the extended work necessary for such a complex ancient site. TT's MO is also most brilliantly connected with the popularization of archaeology and community involvement in the discovery and preservation of historical treasures of all kinds. I think this element needs to retain the greatest emphasis if TT is to remain relevant and not just another "content provider."
Neil Fearn
C and D would be great if we can manage 3 sites
Jill Lyon
B, C, A -- Anglo-Saxon knowledge is important, but sadly, not as fun to watch as medieval remains. Original TT tried a Templar site early on but didn't have time to correct looking in the wrong place, so it's a new opportunity!
Dave White
Second choice would be A!
Ann H
Hospitalliers got my vote but Greek and Anglo Saxon were so close. Hospitalliers is interesting because it has a robust non English portfolio of architectural comparative monuments outside England and surviving documentation plus inherently international. Greece is hard to work on site with the governmental scenario. Anglo Saxon is fascinating but has some far right types lurking and adding their own connotations sadly.
Cordelia
Sites A and C are my second and third choices.
Faytality
A and F are second and third choices. They all sound really good so I won't be mad if none of the ones I've picked are chosen.
Amy Singerle
E,b,a.
JUDITH COOKE
I belong to a genealogy group that traces its ancestry back to the Eastern Counties and I edit the newsletter. It would be lovely to be able to report on Time Team’s investigation in Norfolk To the rest of the group.
Le Scoob
wonderful to have our opinions considered for these sites. Thank you so much for allowing our input.
Dale Jones
Actually I love the sound of them all!
Marieke van Kranenburg
D and E are on a joint second place because they involve the community. The medieval priory (B) is on a third place.
Mike Warsop
Went for F because i love anything Ancient Greek :) C sounds pretty interesting as well.
J T
Wow, the lineup is excellent and makes choosing tough. I personally went for A as a first, though it’s closely tied with F as well as followed B and C for third
Janet Sutton
A also sounds interesting, particularly for the application of geophys. And either D or E would be fun from a village dig standpoint.
Nigel Brown
Site C for first choice. Site A for second choice. Then, E and D. Thanks for including us in the planning.
Vickie Betts
Site F would be my 2nd choice
Jen Swan
I picked C next A followed by B
AnneMarie Dranchak
Second choice: E
stuart sutcliffe
2nd would have been C, sounds really intriguing. 3rd E. Can't beat community test pits and 4th F. Don't see many Greek digs so interesting
Sherry Cartmill
(continued) the earlier the better no matter who.,
William F. Campbell
C, B, A in that order first, second, and third
Sherry Cartmill
I'm curious about early Greek settlers in Briton. For me
John Anderson
B and F after C
Richard Bleasdale
F for me as second choice. Love a bit of Ancient Greece.
Melinda Nagy
F, C, B
Scott Johnson
My first was B, with A& C tied for second. E would be third because community digs are always fun.
Elizabeth Nicholson
In order and why: C knights hospitalier - lots of investigation opportunities, likely a good story, geophys should be excellent. E test pits - a classic Mick Aston Time Team. Need I say more? A Anglo saxon - a mysterious period where any discovery adds so much to the knowledge base. B medieval priory - interesting, but I prefer the first 3. F Greece - TT has rarely left the UK, interesting opportunity, concerns with travel, cost, logistics. D Roman - could be good, but did roman last year.
Michael O'Connor
2nd choice would be choice A, the Norfolk site. The Greek site is also intriguing. Wish you could dig them all!
Jude Edling
How to pick?!? I really enjoy community archaeology and seeing just how you get a backhoe in a garden so perhaps D although F and B are in contention. Anglo-Saxon sites can be so confounding but so very rewarding so E is my first choice. In the end, I will enjoy the Time Team experience at whichever sites you choose.
Paul Bivand
Second choice Site C. I'd love Site A, but there's quite a high chance of not finding a great deal, so maybe later on.
Kate
1st F; 2nd C; 3rd A
Brian Heymans
Alternative choices B, D, and E in that order
Liesel Annible
Second choices C and F
Ted Vaughan
My second choice B. Third choice C. Fourth choice A.
Paul Bivand
Voted E as I always liked the community test pit ones. Also has a US connection, so the pottery could be similar to early settlers there. While we're still rebuilding the viewing numbers, need to bear in mind what would build more people subscribing here and watching on Youtube.
Don Cook
A, B, E
Cynthia Hutchins
B,C,E
Janelle Martin
My second choice is B because it's a medieval priory site, 3rd choice is F for the international aspects, and 4th choice D is for the community dig
George W. Claxton
My second choice would be the Knights Hospitallers preceptory in the North of England.
Michael Sperry
B, E and F
Starwalker
1st B, the C, F, E,A and D
Tim Bend
Site C was my primary, but A and F would also be interesting
Joanna Poe
2nd choice: E, 3rd: D, 4th: A, but we'll tune in for any of them!
Rosemary Henderson
Second choice is A (opportunity to advance knowledge of this time period), third choice is E (I like the community archeology aspect). Any or all will be appreciated!
Mónica Courtial
My second choice is “F” and third is “B”.
Pamela Brotherton
My 2nd choice is B and 3rd choice is D.
Julie Gray
Site C would be a second choice.
Leah Kotok
I voted for A, but 2nd would be C, and 3rd would be B
Amy Stallings
I'm curious to know whether choice B might be related to the medieval priory structure near where I live in the US, so that was the clear favorite for me. Second choice would be C or A.
Gabriel Peterson
1st choice F, since I think a more international version of Time Team would be fun to watch, though I do like the general focus on the UK too. 2nd choice E though, since a Viking king defeated by Alfred sounds cool, and the community involvement ones seem kind of fun. Too bad those two aren't getting too many votes so far.
Brian Perry
I have selected "B" for one of the sites as I live in the United States and I'm interested in the connection. My second and third would be "C" & "A", respectively.
Steve Ketcham
To be honest, they ALL sound interesting.
Scott Graupner
2nd is E. I live the community digs because they never, ever go according to plan. 3rd is F. I would love to see the team investigate something out of their natural habitat. 4th is A. I love Saxon, but not necessarily TT's success with it.
David Coombes
Second choice A
Graham Brown
As usual excited for any, A or F would be the second choice.
Robert Knudson
Second choice F
Robert Wise
Site F: Greece … seemed it might use up TT resources pretty quickly Site D: Roman under a housing development sounds potentially frustrating and hard to piece the story together First choice: Site A: Anglo-Saxon sounds like a challenging dig! 2nd choice: Site B 3rd choice: Site C
Rebekah U
A is my first choice, but only just! C is a very close 2nd, and the mystery of B makes it my 3rd choice.
Tanya Tonks
For me... 2nd B, 3rd D
Ralph Salier Hellendag
A,B,D would be my choices.
Wendy Crammond
Yes...and all good, but can we have less ' hushed voiceover' and more of the original 'interaction' please????
Jim and Susan von Schmacht
Second choice F, third choice A
Sue Stone
B second & E third. all purely out if personal interest.
Sheila Sanderson
Second choice A
Fred
I think the Hospitallers site would be so much fun
lee
second and third choice C and A
Ivor Balke
Wow, Greece is really something different for TT. Love it!
Peter Tricker
I chose A the Eastern part of UK is so important in our history and the Anglo Saxon story builds on the Roman times but we seem to know so little compared to other eras. 2nd E, 3rd C
CCZ
Second choice A, third choice E
Robert Boudreau
Second choice E, third C.
Peggy Rands
Second choice is Greece
A Bleese
Second choice is E because it's near where I live and I have wanted to go on a Time Team dig for 28 years now.
Mark Freestone
Sites A and F look very exciting too! I chose the Medieval priory for various reasons but also because Mick would have been there like a shot!
Daniel Gray
Second would be C, third would be E and fourth would be B
Sam Batstone
My second one is Anglo Saxon
Mary-Helen Armour
Second Greece Third Anglo-Saxon
Sam Accardi
Second: A Third: B
Trevor Rix
2nd A : 3rd D
Steve Saxon
Second E, Third C
Molly Housego
Second choice A
Matthew Wasbrough
C was my choice but B was a close second. While I love the idea of Greece I think it is too early to be going international.
Mavvy Vasquez
My second choice is C
deborah
In descending order of preference: A,F,E,D,C,B
Duncan Chopoorian
Since I'm in the US I chose a medieval priory with US connections. My second, along with 25 percent of others, is to go to Greece.
Pauline Guest
Second choice for me is B, then F.
Adrienne
Second choice: F, third choice: E
Paul Tomblin
The Dorset one sounds too much the one in South Shields that came up empty.
Kevin Emley
Second: B Third: C
Julian Hughes
My second choice is B
Matthew Adams
As per my premature commenting incident! A, then E, then F get my vote. I love the idea of applying Time Team tech to an Anglo Saxon site, village test pitting is the essence of Time Team and a dig in Greece has the potential to be another Nevis!
Carol Overrill
Just one is really difficult, but C seemed to be refreshingly different.
Paul Dent
My second choice is "A" - the site in Norfolk.
