Returning to Sutton Hoo
The Time Team podcast returns with big news. We're going back to dig at Sutton Hoo in 2025!
Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams hear from Prof. Martin Carver who carried out major excavations of the site in the 1980s. Finding out more about the burial mounds, the buried Anglo-Saxon ship and the exotic Byzantine bucket. He explains why it's such an important place archaeologically and how it still holds secrets to this day.
Also on the podcast, Time Team's Stewart Ainsworth puts Martyn through his paces as he undergoes the final bit of his basic training as a landscape archaeologist, the show's creator; Tim Taylor, tells you about the biggest challenges faced by the crew when putting together a programme and there's more of your questions, this time with an added surprise.

Martyn Williams
2024-11-01 17:37:52 +0000 UTCI was wondering what happens on sites once the filming stops. Can you let us know on the podcast

2024-10-30 08:42:45 +0000 UTCI love the podcast. Thank you. I can't wait for the Martin Carver interview. Question for Helen following on from the pot plant topic. At the Wytch Farm dig, Rachel talked about boring holes in pots for water to flow through sand as a way of marking time. Was this common?

2024-10-29 23:20:31 +0000 UTCWe will be covering lots of the history and background to this extraordinary site in the specials we are editing currently which feature our dig in June. But there are also a few other treats coming your way about the site too. Watch this space!

2024-10-29 23:19:03 +0000 UTCA question for Helen... Many times on Time Team, the site has been Roman. The foundations of thick walls have been found and Phil (particularly) has said that the building must be two or even three storeys high... So far, so good. But... How did the people get to the higher storeys? I assume they used stairs but I have never seen more than one Roman step that could have led to a higher storey! So, were the stairs stone or wooden? What evidence of their location and size has been found archeologically? What should we be looking out for?
Lynn Edwards
2024-10-29 23:03:40 +0000 UTCThank you. I now have a much better understanding of why Sutton Hoo is such an important archaeological site.
Rosemary Cormack
2024-10-29 21:52:01 +0000 UTCI have a question for Helen: what kind of work goes on behind the scenes to get all of your research into the "archaeological record"? I think I saw once that in the Channel 4 days, Time Team was responsible for most of the archaeological academic papers that were being published. Are you still writing papers? You're always recording trenches, and so where does that information go? There must be a big database somewhere... Thanks for all the great work
Marcus Alley
2024-10-29 20:34:42 +0000 UTCAn interesting thought, David. I'll ask Helen. (Martyn)

2024-10-29 16:55:14 +0000 UTCI greatly enjoyed listening to this extended interview...
Steve Mikre
2024-10-29 15:23:44 +0000 UTCNot quite true that broken pottery had no use ... did not the Romans use broken pot in their waterproof concrete.
David Alan Jones
2024-10-29 14:44:38 +0000 UTCExcellent questions. Well done Patreon-ers.

2024-10-29 13:32:54 +0000 UTCThe Sutton Hoo Ships Company is building a full sized reproduction of the ship that was buried based on the imprint left in the sand and the rivets. I donate to this monthly because I think it is a worthwhile venture. https://saxonship.org

2024-10-29 13:03:22 +0000 UTCSuch a great podcast, it depends on what part of the country I suppose your from where us archeology. I’m from eastern pa and we have a lot of Native American things around here and from the first war of independence. In Jamestown Virginia they is an on going project called Jamestown rediscovery. They have been digging up and finding buildings, the first fort built in Jamestown and well has some of the founders of the colony it’s an an amazing place to visit and you can talk to the archeologists while they dig and ask questions. We do have a lot of battle field archeology between the French and Indian war, American revolution and civil war sites all up and down the eastern United States. Great podcast again and does Stuart have any books he has written or recommendations to read?
Chris DeAngelo
2024-10-29 13:02:21 +0000 UTCit is a movie based on fact with some extraneous love affair "entertainment". It is based on the widow who owned Sutton Hoo hiring a self taught archaeologist to do a dig.
Gene Henriksen
2024-10-29 12:55:02 +0000 UTCGene is it a movie or a documentary? Either way I will check it out.
Chris DeAngelo
2024-10-29 12:35:01 +0000 UTCChris, as a fellow American I would recommend you watch "The Dig" on Netflix which covers the initial excavations in 1939 which were halted by World War II. Essentially, it is the place where a Saxon ship burial was found. These are rare in the UK.
Gene Henriksen
2024-10-29 12:32:51 +0000 UTCI followed your live streams for Sutton hoo. And has an American maybe I’m not understanding it but what is the significance of Sutton hoo? Would it be possible to talk about this history of the place for those who can not make it to these sites. Perhaps in the next podcast?

2024-10-29 08:40:32 +0000 UTCMan, I remember watchin time team as a kid, because my mam knew Stewart’s family or something and I’ve just rediscovered my fascination for archeology again, so currently working my way threw you tube let me know if your ever up Durham way I’ll lend a hand I
