BYZANTINE BUCKET | BEOWULF | Time Team News | Episode #11 (Sutton Hoo Special)

[@TimeTeamOfficial]

What should we cover next on Time Team News? Let us know in the comments...

[@garycothren1294]

How about an actual show and not this crap.

[@phlyricos]

As Denmark and Sweden are mentioned when talking about Beowulf, why not talk more about the ancient cultural connections? Look at finds in the three countries and investigate how they relate. (I so wish Time Team could do a dig at a known burial site from Vendel-time.)

[@helen_crimmins]

​@@garycothren1294crap? We love it

[@schoolingdiana9086]

Any chance of getting Phil to do a cameo, now that he’s retired?

[@schoolingdiana9086]

@@garycothren1294This is Time Team News. It’s just the headlines. You have to wait for the whole show, and don’t be rude about it.

[@katjagirnus9573]

I love that Mick Ashton still is very much a part of TimeTeam ❤

[@nicolemurdoch]

Mick❤❤❤❤❤

[@nzlemming]

You know, I watched the main vid yesterday but after saying "wow blimmin wow" we never actually get told what the large cuboid of clay that was lifted held. We're left to *assume* that it's part of the bucket but it's never actually said.

[@garycothren1294]

Either publish the show or don't. Stop thinking you're building anticipation because you're not.

[@andymccabe6712]

Soo ... You're the official spokesperson for the Planet, then....are you...!?!? Rude, arrogant, condescending. .. for sure...but not representative of the general view, I suspect ......!!

[@musical3lottie]

Give them chance! They will release the ahows when they're done. In the meantime most of the rest of us enjoy seeing coverage of things as they're progressing. If you don't want to watch you don't have to, that is a choice you can make :)

[@invertevision4757]

The fact that Sir Tony mentioned Prof. Mick really touched me. Boy, I love Time Team and everything archeological

[@michaeldoolan7595]

The fact that " sir" Tony is a fanatical Labour supporter means he's a hypocrit.

[@jrea424]

​@@michaeldoolan7595we're all hypocrites.

Its all about meeting on your side of the middle over and over. So the middle line moves towards you every time. Youre never getting a hard shift in people so trying to do so will only scratch the line deeper. Making it harder to move towards you.

[@bryan5549]

I might be an American, but I'll tell you this... Time Team got me through the pandemic. I watched all 20 years of episodes, and thanks to that, my idea of heaven is one of two things. A baseball game on a sunny afternoon, or an archaeological dig in Britain. God bless those who have left us, and best wishes to all who remain.

[@DillonDaVillain222]

Amen!

[@DebraMorgan9]

Same here. They feel almost like friends, watching a friend age 20 years over six weeks is a trip.

[@zyxw2000]

When I was young, I dreamed of going on a dig, using a little brush and trowel to gently brush away soil to clean artifacts. I have that kind of patience.

[@zyxw2000]

It's been on 20 years? And not a single episode has ever been shown here on the US network PBS, which features loads of UK shows. I have a lot of catching up to do.

[@0r1x]

Good luck to the other nominees???? They can all get stuffed! Time team is the only worthy candidate.i don't learn diddly squat from sky sports or cbbc

[@red.aries1444]

A question: If you excavate missing parts of a bucket, do you have less or more on your bucket list after this?

[@punknaught]

Finding more of that bucket is amazing, truly this and the other boat possibility ..makes this one of the best Timeteam digs.

[@Andy-rt4ml]

For sure. I wasn't clear whether that wrapped up block of earth they lifted out was part of the bucket in the museum, or another bucket. Maybe it's a teaser 🙂. Whatever the case, I am looking forward to the future episode(s) on this dig!

[@cheryldueck318]

@@Andy-rt4mlI wondered the same.

Congratulations on your nomination everyone! It comes as no surprise to me. Your content & contributions are precious imo & deserve to be honored

[@elizabethneill3825]

And thank you to all the people behind the scenes who are never on camera, but are diligent and make it all possible.

[@spacecowboy2k]

OK PLUSHIE MICK ASHTON MADE ME TEAR UP. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

I think professor Mick Aston would be absolutely chuffed that time team is going and expanding, with new faces and new technology bringing archeology to the world.

[@LisaMarli]

Great seeing everyone doing wonderful archeology. As a Tolkien fan, I love seeing Beowulf interpreted again and again. Each translation brings new insight to this poem. And thank you Sam for adding to the knowledge.

[@Oldsmobile69]

Kinda mean of him to describe them as "sh*t funerals" tho. What king would want that?

[@michaelkamradt4700]

The kids are all doctors and a knight (no less), it's been an honor to grow older with them.

[@Squid981]

Phill Harding rules 😮

[@Wstarlights]

Great to see Mick back on the show again. Would love to see a Time Signs-Time Team throwback special on how Mick and Tim and Phil pioneered what eventually became all we are watching here right now! Complete with pub talks of course!

[@estherlwhittle7568]

I love the Mick Aston doll.

[@bethannyallain5395]

Hi Dani, Always enjoy the news. You had such a wonderful venue for a backdrop this month. I teared up a bit when Sir Tony brought up Mick . I love that the team brings him on every dig. It is like his spirit is there watching over the team.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

I always look for the Mick Aston doll at all this new content. It just makes me feel good to have him still there. We studied Beowulf in high school and it was never so interesting. There is a current rapper named Baba Brinkman, who retells ancient stories and explains science in modern language and then has it peer reviewed for accuracy. He's great at capturing the attention of young people with stories and science told in a way that grabs them. His rendition of Beowulf is surprisingly good (coming from an old lady). I adore Time Team Official.

[@craigsurette3438]

The people at Time Time should know that there is a team of excellent reenactors called Wulfheodenas who specialize in painstakingly recreating all of the artifacts from finds from the same era as the Sutton Hoo burial . Their work is absolutely stunning and would add a lot to the public's understanding of what all of this was like when the people were alive.

[@estherlwhittle7568]

The next video? 😊❤😊

[@estherlwhittle7568]

I'm thrilled to see Sir Tony back on Time Team. 😊😊😊

Finding a portion of that bucket is a huge deal. I thought they would play that up more

[@barrydysert2974]

[@teriwood9657]

I love seeing so many Time Team members I have grown to love, like Matt Williams (my favorite), Helen, Carenza, etc. I've seen Phil in a recent interview and he's writing! Also seen another favorite, Guy de la Bedoyere, who finished a book. Wondered and would love to catch up with others I remember like Tracey, Katie, Bernard, Sue, and Raysan. So many over the years! I know Mick "the dig" Worthington is teaching here in America. I also miss seeing Ian Powelsland. Could you ever do a catch up with these people? Oh! And I loved someone who reminded me of my departed Dad, Francis Prior!

[@doobat708]

That's a pretty good distance for three days, Lawrence! I'd be interested to know if you'll be publishing a GPS track after you've done it, so other people could cycle it, too! (Though perhaps not in three days!) My dad and I will be cycling past part of the Limes, stopping to visit Roman archaeological highlights along the way, so that'll be a lot more leisurely!

I really want one of the knitted Prof Astons!

[@joannamallory2823]

This is great Time team again, fantastic only just discovered it. I just like the presentation so much better than the BBC where they have one particular presenter pretty much for every archaeological programme,

It was nice of you guys to mention Mick Howson he is missed badly. any news on Phil Harding? I figured if he was still alive he would be there just to even just see and maybe offer his trowel one last time between Tony and Phil they were the backbone of time team and everybody else were not supporting characters but they were important people too but Bill was always there every episode And he too is sorely missed

[@SAOS451316]

Phil Harding is alive and well. He's busy with Wessex Archaeology but it would be nice to see him on another Time Team program.

Bike ride to Waterloo. Who are your training crew? I am a qualified Personal Trainer and long distance cyclist. I have my Audax UK 300km medal and patch. Are there places for volunteers?

[@sarahwatts7152]

I had to memorize a bit of Beowulf in the original in a high school English class, and it came in handy starting in 2020, as it's about 30 seconds long. So when I want really clean hands, I pull out the Beowulf (hopefully nobody thinks I'm attempting to summon a demon in the bathroom)

[@amymorin2700]

I am glad Toney back!’

[@MicroModelRailwayDispatch]

It’s all very well recommending Beowulf as “Book of the Month”. But what is the best/ easiest translation for someone to read?

[@meitanteikudoKID]

I can recommend two translations: the Seamus Heany translation and the JRR Tolkien translation. Both are really good. The Heany translation has the original poem written along with the translated version side by side. The Tolkien translation includes notes about the context of some of the stanzas as well as notes on Tolkien’s interpreting the translation.

[@MicroModelRailwayDispatch]

@@meitanteikudoKID thanks

[@owentaylor9884]

How many Saxon men have been found by Time Team? Answer. Not many. More Saxon men are buried in Wales than anywhere else. For it is where they all fell.

[@jakubj_]

The bucket is interesting, I wonder how much of it is left in the soil clump. I bet they'll do an x-ray first.

[@maryjones5710]

I am amazed to hear that the Sutton Ho garnets come from India. There are certain spots on the Thames foreshore that yield garnets. They are a bit mysterious. How old they are is probably impossible to determine.

[@johnfuller-bn2hs]

It seems to me, sorry for this and I hope I am wrong, that Mick Ashton wanted to bring archelogy to the masses and he tried various ways of doing this until Time Team became about but the way time team has now evolved, on utube, it is, again, taking archaeology away from this ethos. If you haven't got money you aren't worth anything so if you can't afford to be patrioen then you are a second class citizen. I won't watch time team anymore because, it seems to me, you are now only looking after the wealthy. You have returned archelogy back to the antiquarian

[@TimeTeamOfficial]

Since Time Team's return, we have publicly released 70 classic episodes, 10 classic Specials, and all of the brand new dig episodes, right here on KZbin (including our other channel, Time Team Classics). These are openly available for all fans worldwide to enjoy for free, with more on the way. We've also launched a monthly News show, available to all on KZbin, and each of new digs has involved members of the wider community (including over 50 volunteers at Sutton Hoo). As Time Team is now independently produced, without the input of a broadcaster, we're proud that so many worldwide supporters on Patreon have backed the return, enabling us to continue producing new episodes that we share with all.
