Thank you for keeping the "Breaking the Internet" bit in the final cut. That type of real-world situation helps to make people more comfortable with the humans on the screen and identify with them a lot more. It helped to keep Time Team engaging and fun all of those years (though I binge watched it all for the first time during Covid). Please keep the goofing up and goofing off in the new Time Team productions!

There is that Viking coin at Blue Hill Maine tho there are questions.

The US has it's own ancient history. Check out Cahokia, Pueblo cultures, the Spanish movements up the west coast (and why so many cities there start with "San.") There is a lot to be proud of. I enjoy British history AND our own. :-)

When (not if!) this mosaic is revealed is their a plan regarding its future? How is it’s fate determined?

Love and enjoy this little FLY ON THE WALL segment, and Miles breaking the internet:-). I agree that it sometimes gets hard to constantly bring finds or digs to the four front when there is nothing really there, as in the Wooden structure where all you have to show anyone is a bunch of holes, BUT a decorated roman floor!! Now that's something to dance around:-) SOME digs or locations , sadly are lost, due to Modern Day Plowing or now being built over and no way to get at the sites, but would Love to preserve as much as you can And be able to show and teach THAT history to the young. Sadly, Here across the pond in the U.S, " Political Everything" has taken out, and the idea of dumbing down young kids and even those of college age, to the lack of REAL TRUE history, America does NOT have a lot of the Old buried history that you all do there, and so there is not much to show our young, that this or that took place. OUR history only goes back HERE to the mid 1600's...so Over time and development, that to this day doesn't give a rats on what is under the ground, just bulldoze over it and put a building or parking lot there, so much that could of been preserved is now lost..I have been a family genealogy researcher for the past 28 yrs, and just in my own family history, going back to my 12th great grandparents, whom none of the genealogy researchers have been able to locate a burial for, have found, sadly that they " May" be both buried under what is now a parking lot! so that history is gone. Also there is no way to connect the both of them, with whom THIER parents were in Europe, BEFORE they arrived here in 1620! So I personally have the Cantrell and Miller sides of my family, along with the Oglesby side that I can not connect. Frustrating... All history is important, and All should be preserved as much as possible.

Wow! Discussing Archaeology broke the internet! Preserving mosaics and other significant finds seems a given! If preserved, do they get placed in the town associated with where they are found? I greatly enjoy the process of pulling all the pieces together to generate the story.

Great. Very happy with « rough around edges », more short clips like this please. Looking forward to the full version, internet permitting.

Thank you. Love the idea of breaking the internet. The Public really cares about Mosaics and if they will identify with it, it has to help persuade them to take Archaeology seriously
