I would love short reports on what all team members are doing between digs. Some have retired for sure, but for those still working, have them pop in for a couple of seconds and mention what they are working on and if they are working with other TT members.

OMGoodness. I want to see more of the Robo Dog. What a way to see locations that are not safe enough for humans to access. Absolutely amazing!! It’s also great to see Helen, Lawrence and Derick (not this one) doing more presenting. They are all excellent. Francis Pryor is quite simply the best!! Yes I’m a fan of his. 🤭

@@Michelle-kf5pe Tunnels yes, caves not so much. The floors are too uneven, or the sites have to be accessed via routes robots can’t take. Look at the videos of the Rising Star Cave in South Africa for an extreme example. The finds take 30-40 minutes to reach, chunks spent belly crawling, climbing, and descending some really wild terrain. Sites where finds are closer to the surface most often don’t need robots. Or at least not the robots we have today. Imagine a hexagonal robot with six arms, each ending in powerful grasping attachments, and with additional tools swappable onto an arm for drills, chisels, sample collection tools, and of course it would have a sample bin, along with both visual and low light cameras, possibly including ultraviolet and infrared lamps along with visual spectrum. If the legs were about a metre long, with a 500 millimetre main body/collection bin/main sensor pod, it could prove useful. As long as the grip is strong enough so it can hang by two legs! Edited to add - the chief scientist studying the site, Dr. Lee Berger had to starve himself to get to the site. After years of watching closed circuit video from the site. All of the scientists who did the initial excavation were women, because women are generally smaller. And we are talking about very fit, very athletic women. Heroes in my book.

Thank you for your excellent news videos! My father was a few years too young to server in World War II, but most of my uncles did. One uncle was a B17 captain and flew sorties for 3 years -- one of the longest 're-ups' in the US Army Air Corp during WW II -- he did so not only to protect his homeland, but to aid in the protection of the UK -- along with other brave service men (and women) of the United States and the Commonwealth. Indeed they deserve to be remembered -- if not in name, then 'in deed' for the sacrifices they made to keep the US and UK free as well as free so much of Europe from the grip of fascism.

Lovely seeing Danni again after working her and the team in Tranmere House on the last week of Sutton Hoo. I've now got permanent volunteering opportunities at Sutton and at the Longshed so hopefully I'll see you all again in the future. I missed the B17 at Thurston but had the pleasure of working with Cotswold Arch and Operation Nightingale at the other Suffolk B17 dig that's now finishing post at their Needham office. I'm looking forward to doing more work with them in the future. I love the this type of dig especially when it's still in living memory. It reminds me of my grandparents who were the catalyst for my history interest. Being taken to Duxford and regaled with stories of the war. Aaron

I have always loved Francis Pryor’s enthusiasm, so finding out he is an avid gardener is like the cherry on top of a sundae. Hardcover and audible versions ordered! Americans have what we call ‘English gardens’, which tend to be more formal and have structure. Mine is undergoing a change to more native plants with a few carefully selected non-natives to stand in for pet toxic natives. The joy I have walking among native bees and butterflies and birds recharges my soul…and I can’t wait to hear how Mr Pryor has enjoyed his days in his garden.

I absolutely love the robot dog! I wonder of he has a name? It's really endearing that he obeys commands, too. I'm disabled, and feel really envious - I would love one to go walking (i.e. limping) with. The project to find the remains/relics of American airmen killed in a collision over Englans in 1944 is also really significant and also moving. Archaeology can reach into so many aspects of our lives, and is not just an "academic" discipline, but touches people in unexpected ways - as does, for example, Operation Nightingale.

Just like early mankind he started with a blank canvas.....just like my farm. It then makes one think about the first blank canvas's out there, they had to decide the same sort of things as we do, where will the driveway go, what about the weather, what about food, where will we put the house, what about water - what about waste, how will we tell others where our place is located?

When metal objects are uncovered, ie chariot wheels, swords, nails.....it would be interesting to know more of the composition and method of making these items. As well as similarities to others found elsewhere, and the distribution of items, much in the same way as they can analyze teeth and tell which region you are likely to have spent your childhood. Another item I am interested in is animal bones, is any analysis of the origin / genetics carried out on these, particularly sheep, pigs, dogs and cattle. It might explain trading/ movement or how the animal may have originated? Did they evolve locally? who knows. Apologies in advance for asking if none of this is possible
