Show Notes
Helen Geake and Martyn Williams reminisce about their time at Sutton Hoo as we publish our films about Time Team's 2025 season of digging at the Anglo-Saxon burial site. Angus Wainwright from the National Trust gives you an idea of what you can expect from upcoming episodes. You'll also meet Tim Fletcher from Geoscope. He's the lead archaeologist on a project that's been sifting through peat in West Yorkshire in an attempt to discover the final resting place of 22-year-old Cpl Clarence Watson. His body was never recovered after the American B24H bomber he was in crashed on Twizle Head Moss near Holmfirth in 1942. Helen's particularly excited to introduce you to Tasha Fullbrook, a PhD researcher at The University of Reading. She's been working on a unique category of Roman coins and her work could change our understanding of how the Romans used money. There's also an interview with Time Team's creator, Tim Taylor MBE. He explains how the Dig Village book helps village communities uncover their own archaeology. The book's now available to buy in the Time Team Shop at https://shop.timeteamdigital.com/.
