What would like to see in future episodes of Time Team News? Let us know!

[@TomCrosman]

New digs. Love em

[@bluecloudsailing]

How about episodes set in the future? What would archeologists in the future find if they dug into the soil we're leaving behind? Answers on a PET Coca Cola bottle.

[@reubenaberlin]

Absolutely

[@gregb6469]

More archaeology news from the Americas. We know now that civilization, especially on the west coast of South America, is as old as anything in Eurasia.

[@jeffsuter344]

One of the early proposed digs for the revival were ruins on the Isles of Scilly. Bronze age I believe. Would love to see a TT Dig about that. Also I am surprised LIDAR isn't more extensively used in tracking down sites. At least on screen.

[@crazyasalways9272]

So glad to find out that there is ongoing digs i became obsessed with time team while i was pregnant and now im sharing with my 2 year old (he loves the episodes with celtic digs)

[@helenamcginty4920]

Used to watch from the start with my son. Although hes a history fan he just never got the time team bug. 😢

[@carlthorpe5538]

Great programme guys... it was nice to have made a 'guest' appearance on the Boden segment :) Looking forward to what 2024 brings....

[@dinahfromkabalor]

And great to see you still sharing your knowledge with us Time Team fans!

[@MikaylaBrookeHorn]

@@dinahfromkabalor😅

[@mettevunsjensen4094]

I love, that Time Team exist again😊

[@judithcooke6979]

Always lovely to catch up with what the Team has been doing. Follow ups on early TT episodes, current archaeological projects and investigations, plans for the future - everything would be of interest. If you ever have the opportunity to be involved in something that sheds light on early Australian archaeology, that would be great too. Best wishes to you all and compliments of the season.

[@emmarobinson6530]

Havent got any suggestions sadly, just wanted to say a big thank you to Derek and Lawrence, once again taking any challenge thrown at them with wit and warmth, thank you both!

[@bethannyallain5395]

I was so glad to hear what happens after Time Time leaves a site.

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks Guys 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@SirWhig-esq.]

🎉🎉Returning to the fogou ❤❤

[@paular6759]

And Bear ❤❤

[@fayecook9171]

Would love more follow ups on past digs

[@MeanOlNana]

Time Team News one of my favorite series!!!

[@eddygonzalez6018]

What I really want to see is what happens to the archeological site. Putting back all that dirt and lawn. How do you refill those wholes without damaging the site. How long does it takes. I don't mind watching an episode of 3 days moving that dirt back and covering those wholes. Maybe its just me, but can I watch the part where you put it all back together?

[@jublaim]

Thank you so much guys and entire Time Team! It's like a goodie bag presented😀

[@DorothyMarks-Tango17]

Thank you, it is so interesting to hear about what happens after Time Team has done a dig... something I frequently wonder about.

[@yooper6161]

I've never been very interested in Archeology or British Telé but Time Team has changed them both. Thanks for giving me two more things to obsess over! Wow Also King Hines comes up as a possible decendent when I did a DNA liniage test.

[@katerinahumlova211]

Dear Time Team, I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for your work, it is a pleasure for me to watch Time Team in the Czech Republik. Kateřina😊

[@donalddodson7365]

What an episode. Thank you all for the updates and whetting our appetites for coming attractions.

[@mozdickson]

Thanks to everybody involved with this content. Happy Christmas and Merry Finds, from NZ (ps. I walked Cotswold and Peddars Way this year, and found a/ some Roman tile in a ploughed field a few miles from Bath, and b/ an absolutely stunning Neolithic arrow head lying beside the path not far into Peddars Way - I would not have even noticed them but for my Time Team II archaeological education. I walked almost 200 miles with eyes peeled, and s - just one example - sleeping 500 metres from Belas Knap was just wow - cheers!)

[@clairepaddon5604]

A look at the Roman baths and Saxon burials(?) found on the site of Exeter University. I believe it was dug in the 70's

[@fificrossnails]

I heard a Roman baths was dug in the 1970s right next to Exeter cathedral, yet it was covered up again…would love to see this re-excavated. Exeter has so much fascinating history.

[@maxchristian5727]

I would like to see a few of the main Team, such as Matt or Helen take on a young apprentice for each episode. Maybe a keen14 year old amateur with a interest in becoming an archaeologist. That way we would get to learn basic archaeology techniques explained, have the enthusiasm of youngsters new to the science and bring up a new team who can carry on the tradition of Time Team into the future. For me it wasnt just the archaeology that i loved but the relationships between the team and their individual characters each having a different opinion and thought process making it almost like part of my extended family for so many years. Its always been like comfort food for me. God bless you all!

[@Didi-CatLover3]

Please continue these updates on other sites & finds around the world. Also any research of the finds from recent TT digs & what Naomi found in her research.

[@robynw6307]

Interesting to hear about ongoing digs that TT have been to. But I would also like to see what happens to the digs that don't continue. What goes into restoring the area, and how long it takes. Sounds boring I guess to many, but I often wonder about this at the end of an episode.

[@DanielG77]

It was so great to meet Dr. Walton at the recent Dorset dig and we actually discussed the Piercebridge episode so it is really neat to see this update. Keep up the great work everyone!

[@marygallagher3428]

Enjoyed the update!

[@MacWhatley]

I'd like to see an update using Dr. Mike Nevell. He's now the Industrial Heritage Support Officer for all England, and he was in at least half a dozen really interesting Time Teams- Derwentcote, Sheffield, the Boulton Mint in Birmingham, that iron furnace under the pub, and my favorite, the Arkwright mill in Manchester. I know Covid played havoc with most of the industrial sites in northern England- I hope they're still open to the public. But it's hard to know what's happening from over here in the US.

[@tiffanyannhowe1712]

Thank you!!! Happy Holidays 🖤

[@stevennash7737]

Thanks guys. Great catch up.

[@CheekandBluster]

Fantastic stuff, you guys! Absolutely fascinating. Looking forward to what TT has coming in 2024!

[@cg256y9]

Would that Fogou stone entrance have been at ground level originally? It sure is buried deep now!

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to the whole crew. 😅

[@clapstix3495]

looking forward to 2024 already! Go Time Teamers!

[@RichardWardner]

I'd like to see some serious experimental archaeology to work out how or why something was built or made a particular way. In the old days Mat and Phil tended to take these roles.

[@AlexPReal]

I'd suggest the new Tartessos findings (Spain). They're excellent and leading to full reinterpretation

[@emmafre-haack1746]

Thanks!

[@LouCadle]

Thank you. I went and downloaded Bridge Over Troubled Waters, as I always loved that ep. Great finds and well-written.

[@louisea966]

great ep

[@myrtleholly2016]

loving Time Team

[@R08Tam]

Brilliant stuff

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

THank you.

[@rmg03c]

Phillipa Watson. Brilliant and still adorable. My apologies, I'll show myself out...

[@davenewton9652]

I'm coming to this late, but ANY more information on that South Pacific work would be appreciated

[@DC-wt2vi]

Thanks for these interesting snippets of news. I had forgotten about the link between rams and Mercury. How should the name of the place where the fogou is be pronounced? It sounded different from "Bear" as he introduced it on location than from the presenters in the studio. Happy Christmas to all!

[@bigsarge2085]

✌

[@sharimullinax3206]

Great info. Where is the link for the book Bridge over the River Tees? I can't find it.

[@TimeTeamOfficial]

[@benediktmorak4409]

20 years? so, it is definitely more then the - TT has only 3 days-... Great to see what has happened since then.

[@Davlavi]

This is so existing.

[@beerwenchofmaryland6930]

Can Time Team please come to St Mary’s county in Southern Maryland?!?!?!!

[@danallen3947]

love TT

[@mickclifton8774]

The entire series on your classic KZbin channel, or if they are sort out the issues that make them unavailable in Australia, we are apart of the Commonwealth after all, i miss my TT , am so poor cant aford patreon just yet. Pretty please and thank you

[@stephenfinney3101]

Ram has the face of a Womble :D

[@j.b.4340]

Decorating with Leica. Nice. 🙂

[@sietesamurais]

I’m hoping for 20 years at least which would be a break since she could potentially get 60 all together

[@garrymatthews4430]

How do you bring all of the point from which you take your measurments together to get a full picture

[@cherylkurucz8852]

💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@carrie4696]

Sorry whatbridge 😂

[@kearnsdouglase]

Must suck to be a perpetual squatter on the Kings land. Find something awesome and they confiscate it from you.

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

Well, technically you own anything that's found on your land, but in practice it's normal to share any proceeds from the find with the finder, without whom you wouldn't have known it was there. I don't know of any find that's simply been confiscated.

[@Habs2802]

I've got more connection with a random dude on TikTik doing funny stuff then these two beards.

[@philroberts7238]

Well, stick to TikTok then!

[@Idellphany]

Bah humbug
