I think it would be wonderful to get more follow-up on earlier sites. Such as, have any sites been revisited by archaeologists since Time Team, or have any new finds in areas near previous sites changed any of the previous conclusions?

Ellen Holt

I also would love to see a return to this particular location to see what other treasures and information lie waiting to be discovered. Also, it seems to me that the inscription was the missed opportunity of the dig. Some letters might be worn, but assembled together as a sort of puzzle, I imagine it would be like trying to decipher a first graders writing. In the end, a pattern would begin to emerge, and our brains would translate.

from the beginning, the letters you received from the 'ordinary' non archaeologist farm owner/town dweller, were the initial and exciting reasons to watch the program. it would be lovely to see a return whenever possible of viewer participation/excitement for their area/village.

Chalk (ahem) another one up as being a fan of these retrospectives, really interesting. I was also curious about not further looking at the inscriptions present, in the report they only list one inscribed stone (object number 539) and that seems to be because it was in a field wall and the stones reused in buildings are not included. Mick and Tony even talk, near the start of the programme, about getting them all photographed and analysed, and then to the end Tony does say that it was too fragmented or worn down to make out what it said.

Wonderful! We need more like this please! Lengthy discussions about a dig and site are tops. Do more! Do more!

David & Violet Bunting

Bettny Hughes might be good.

OMG! I am a 70year old archaeology nerd! Thanks for the link to the site dig conclusions I went there and read the whole report....why oh why didn’t I go into archaeology at the university all those many years ago.......thanks for all the great entertainment and knowledge!

Time Team

Hi Stephen. That's strange, thanks for bringing it to our attention. We haven't done anything different with this one, but please let us know if the issue persists or if it crops up on any other pieces. We can raise it with the platform. Thanks

Stephen Herbert

The audio from this video doesn't work in the iPad app. Other Time Team Patreon videos do work so there is something different about this one. I watched it in a browser.

Stephen Herbert

This is one of the best interviews so far. Thanks.

Stephen Southworth

This is a brilliant partner to the programme. Great stuff, thank you.

David Boon

Interesting to learn about the likelihood of a kiln being nearby because of the tiles with production faults. Another great chat with new insights into one of the digs.

Kerryn

Dani’s passion and humour are so engaging to watch! Definitely agree on the abbot’s name being one to remember!

Frank Pellow

loved this episode and all the retrospective content. thanks

Anne Collinson

So informative. Thank you. I wanted to sort out the words too!

Chris Hughes

Thank you for another very interesting talk. As others have said, yes we really need to look at the inscriptions again.

Sarah Copeland

Another great conversation! Love hearing Dani's take on it all. And yes I did giggle at the name too!!!

Eggs Ackley

Great to hear Dani’s commentary on an interesting dig. Keep’em coming!

Carole Cox

I really enjoyed this conversation. The role of sheep and peasants brings forth the political climate of the time.

Justin Freeman

Another great conversation shedding some extra light on familiar programmes, really enjoyable. And absolutely right about the farming origins of the ‘chalk and cheese’ phrase!

Susie Stockton-Link

and "The Confessio Amantis by John Gower was written between 1386 and 1390. Gower was a contemporary and friend of Geoffrey Chaucer, and was a trilingual poet who wrote in three languages – French, Latin and Middle English".

Susie Stockton-Link

I looked it up ! "Where did the phrase chalk and cheese come from? The first known usage of this phrase comes from John Gower in his Middle English text Confessio Amantis, 139. In this text an untrustworthy shopkeeper was selling chalk under the pretence that it was cheese: 'Lo, how they feignen chalk for chese."
