2024-09-07 15:11:55 +0000 UTCThank you so much for participating in the Q&A, Neil. I always enjoy listening to you talk about Roman tile kilns & villa complex archaeology, but hearing about the person who inspires so many others is a treat. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge, experience and passion for archaeology. I'm grateful for what you & Time Team have taught me over the years and I appreciate having this opportunity to tell you so on Patreon. Cheers from Yukon, Canada

2024-09-06 21:02:39 +0000 UTCThis was so interesting thank you. I can still remember watching the discovery of the gold coin on the episode, so exciting! And yes, I would love Time Team to do a dig on at Hadrian’s Wall!

2024-09-06 18:48:42 +0000 UTCFabulous finds there all the time - obviously the writing tablets but the thousands of leather shoes and wooden objects from the anaerobic are my favourites, along with the glass beads and the complex layers of buildings over 7-800 years of occupation. Spine-tingling.

2024-09-06 18:17:50 +0000 UTCVisited for the first time in 2023 and actually witnessed a writing tablet being discovered! Returning in a couple of weeks.

2024-09-06 18:08:45 +0000 UTCAs a long time volunteer excavator at Vindolanda - I absolutely agree that Hadrians Wall archaeology is unbeatable!
Fiona Drake
2024-09-06 17:26:58 +0000 UTCI’m enjoying these commentaries. Hearing personal is fascinating. I would love to see more
Warren Feldman MD
2024-09-06 17:23:48 +0000 UTCTurkdean is a favourite of mine too. Wonder if they would ever get Jimmy and his GPR up there to get a really complete picture of the buildings
Mary-Helen Armour
2024-09-06 17:17:44 +0000 UTCTurkdean is my favorite villa, have rewatched episodes so often, including the live, I could probably recite them verbatim. Would love to see what else was discovered there over the years since. Would be lovely if TT reissued Big Roman Dig, Big Royal Dig, condensed and remastered!
Stephanie Stewart
2024-09-06 17:02:45 +0000 UTCLoved this. And yes, Time Team, can we please realise Neil's dream and do a new excavation on Hadrian's Wall.
