Sutton Hoo | Spoil Heap Q&A: Hilde van der Heul
Added 2024-06-17 10:11:07 +0000 UTCIt's time for another Spoil Heap Q&A, as Derek and Lawrence are joined by Hilde to get her perspective from the sharp end of the trowel.
This time we also have a question for you!
We're planning to catch more of the team over this week to answer more of your excellent questions, so look out for more to follow.

janice taylor
2024-06-27 12:47:07 +0000 UTCI agree 100%. The extra bits are GREAT.
Elizabeth Neill
2024-06-23 05:58:01 +0000 UTCOf course green...same as the collar!?...What? However I am pretty sure my partner Lisa, who is also clearly colour blind (or just argumentative I'm not sure) would say brown. And she loves Hilde's pink hair too! Exciting goings on at the site it seems, and cant wait for the programme to air. And these extra 'bits' are great, to keep us going. Thanks
Mark Lund
2024-06-22 18:27:01 +0000 UTCIt's hard to get an accurate color on a screen and color shifts with the type of light. My best guess is that it is Pantone 19-0617 TCX Teak. I'm with Hilde, it's brown. It's her jacket, it's what she say it is.
Jude Edling
2024-06-22 17:46:28 +0000 UTCLooks green to me !😊
Tom Gooden
2024-06-22 07:59:01 +0000 UTCLooks brown to me.

2024-06-20 21:26:18 +0000 UTCHilde you are correct your coat is definitely brown. I would like to suggest and advise that if any of your team think your coat is green when seeing it in front of them, unless they have been inbibing large amounts of alcohol just before seeing your coat as green, to get a colour blindness check as soon as possible - if these same people on your team have had a day head injury recently I'd suggest they seek medical attention stat. Thank you very much for a very interesting interviewed you've done here and the information given also during your time with the specs cam recording.
KL Sweet
2024-06-20 17:01:43 +0000 UTCIt's brown because I own one kind of the same jacket. It depends on the light then it gets a slightly green shimmer.
Anja Adam
2024-06-20 11:03:05 +0000 UTCOn my TV it looks dark grey! :)
Bron Lloyd
2024-06-20 09:09:49 +0000 UTCYep, its green.
Keith Jones
2024-06-20 08:45:53 +0000 UTCI know brown when I see it and her jacket is green.
Eric Tottman-Trayner
2024-06-20 06:52:24 +0000 UTCGreen
Ellen Chambers
2024-06-20 03:14:58 +0000 UTCIt looks to be a shade of brown with possibly a green tone to it in my opinion.
Korey

Cheryl Kurucz
2024-06-19 21:55:24 +0000 UTCDeutan color blindness potentially but who cares - it's Hilde. She can see brown if she wants to!
Derek Thom
2024-06-19 20:07:25 +0000 UTCDefinitely green on screen. Nice brown lining though!
Amethyst Gray
2024-06-19 19:52:05 +0000 UTCIt's green! I have the brown version of that coat and it's not the same as that!
Laura and Alex Tovey
2024-06-19 19:49:52 +0000 UTCMy tip for the jacket's color is "matte dark umber". :-)
Jakub Jůzl
2024-06-19 19:49:12 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure her hair is red. And one of the reddest red hairs I've ever seen. And as for the jacket... it's in a perfect colour to match her hair. ;)
sigterm
2024-06-19 17:16:37 +0000 UTCHer jacket is green with brown cuffs and collar
Chris Mathews
2024-06-19 15:16:59 +0000 UTCThe coat is mainly "dark chocolate" brown and Im guessing the cuffs look milk chocolate brown, because they are a fluffier material and are bouncing light around between the fibers. Since those cuffs read more "orange" it shifts the reception of rest toward the green side. Look of Joseph Albers "Interaction. of Color."
Sheila Pepe
2024-06-19 14:52:11 +0000 UTCHilde's shirt is green. Her jacket is dark brown, like chocolate, not black but not a ruddy brown like the collar. It seems to be made of a material that reflects slightly and picks up the green of the grass.
Kathy Shelton
2024-06-19 02:44:55 +0000 UTCGreen.
Rick Shepard
2024-06-19 01:17:10 +0000 UTCGreen, goes so well with that red hair!
Matthew Rice
2024-06-18 21:16:42 +0000 UTCReally enjoyable interview. Hilde is very natural and engaging on camera (as are Derek and Lawrence, of course!) and makes her professional knowledge very accessible. The jacket is more green than brown to me.
Dario
2024-06-18 19:05:06 +0000 UTCHaha love this debate on the colour 😄 I just wanted to say 'Goed bezig daar! Groetjes!!' 👋 to Hilde from a fellow Dutchie. (would love it if the guys would try and relay that massage on air btw.. 😉)
Sonja Borst
2024-06-18 17:31:58 +0000 UTCQ: Are field archeologists tested for their color acuity? (meant "browns to greens")
Clara Deck
2024-06-18 16:56:49 +0000 UTCHer jacket is a lively color that has permutations from browns ro greens.
Clara Deck
2024-06-18 16:54:12 +0000 UTCGreen
Jon Crooks
2024-06-18 16:11:50 +0000 UTCAre there systematic geophysical (metal detecting included) being done along with soil pXRF surveys each day over the open site areas to characterize the chemistry and geophysical responses of the individual soil units encountered? The pXRF in-situ analyses might be VERY informative as far as the cremation grave perimeters. My Two Cents as an Archaeogeophysicist and Claudia's as an Archaeobiogeochemist.
Richard Lundin
2024-06-18 16:11:49 +0000 UTCFemale: This jacket is obviously slate-colored with a chocolate brown, maybe luvisol- colored, collar and cuffs
FluffyKat
2024-06-18 10:51:56 +0000 UTCI'm going with Hilde's jacket having chocolate brown collar and cuffs, however, I'd describe the main colour (at least as it appears to me) as 'aniseed'.
Jude Meehan
2024-06-18 10:38:18 +0000 UTCMale - Definitely green. The chromatic differences between men's & Women's eyes continues to astound me. Good anthropological archeology to work out why the divergence. I have a hypothesis but no evidence
Steve Prowse
2024-06-18 05:37:41 +0000 UTCSo many variables to the jacket color question. The perceived color is dependent on the calibration of the camera, the quality of sunlight, what colors are surrounding it, the contract from Hilde's gorgeous red hair. And then you deal with the color calibration of the screens that people are using to view the video. To my eyes, on my computer, it looks kind of an olive drab green, but just barely.
Michael Sperry
2024-06-18 03:56:16 +0000 UTCGreen, brown...who cares. Hilda looks good in anything! ;)
Leitchy
2024-06-18 03:15:29 +0000 UTCIn regard to Hilde’s jacket color, I quote Jim from The Vicar of Dibley, “Yes, yes, yes, yes….NO!”
Eggs Ackley
2024-06-18 02:06:49 +0000 UTCGreat interview! Hilde’s jacket is brown, and looks very comfortable.
Judy Wadsworth
2024-06-18 01:49:47 +0000 UTCBrown. Definitely brown. Because she said so!
Ruth Farrimond
2024-06-18 01:46:48 +0000 UTCThanks, Hilde, for the update in the trench. I hope you find some exciting artefacts. Thanks, Derek and Lawrence, for another great (adjacent to the) Spoil Heap episode. I agree, too many filters to determine the colour of Hilde’s jacket, what she says!
JUDITH COOKE
2024-06-18 01:45:13 +0000 UTCOh, Hilde... you are a gem. If you say your jacket is brown, I'll respect your opinion and not argue the point. I'm leaning on a green fence if you catch my drift. 😉 A great Q&A. 🙏 Thank you all
Patricia Amero
2024-06-18 00:47:20 +0000 UTCLooks green on my iPad!
Elizabeth
2024-06-18 00:27:28 +0000 UTCHilde's jacket could be a very dark brown, if you compare with Lawrence's jacket, his jacket is definitely green. Hilde's is some odd in-between color, maybe even a faded black that could look greenish, if you know what I mean.
Fiona D
2024-06-17 23:39:24 +0000 UTCDark green with chocolate brown trim.
Martin Gibbs
2024-06-17 21:40:32 +0000 UTCThe collar and cuffs are brown. Otherwise, it's a dark green, at least on camera
Alan Murdock

Lally

Lally
2024-06-17 21:30:34 +0000 UTCGrey-brown. I thoroughly enjoy the Spoil Heap interviews but I do have one technical comment - I find the panning from Derek/Laurence to the interviewee a bit off-putting, and don't remember this from previous digs. Perhaps you're short-staffed? Or I'm just noticing it now for some reason.
Rosemary Henderson
2024-06-17 21:30:05 +0000 UTCI see green with brown trim - however, this is filtered through a camera, video software, and my iOS monitor. Who knows what my eyes would perceive in person. It could be very different.
Anita C
2024-06-17 21:18:20 +0000 UTCGreen sorry, with shades of brown to it, but 💚
Terri Brown
2024-06-17 20:43:10 +0000 UTCHer coat is deffinatly green, yes collers and cuffs are brown, just as her hair is red. Love these chats which make patron well worth it
Garry Matthews
2024-06-17 19:49:27 +0000 UTCHilde comes over so well in her interview. It was a delight to get her view on trowling and the way everything is organised. Um fortunately Hilde, you were wearing a green coat, with brown collar and cuffs. And TT, thank you for taking me to the dig from my home. Brilliant, brilliant brilliant once again. Thank you so much.👏👏👏👏
Barry Jones
2024-06-17 19:32:18 +0000 UTCGreen with brown neck and cuffs. Keep up the good work. 🙂

Jessica Wicks
2024-06-17 18:05:18 +0000 UTCIt's definitely a colour ... interesting how form is seen by others...at the end, it's form....
Don Cook
2024-06-17 17:31:12 +0000 UTCIt would be very cool if Time Team published the maps they made.
Terry Weisenfels
2024-06-17 17:18:34 +0000 UTCI love these interviews! Thank you so much. I don't think it's green or brown. It's a muddy mix of bit of green, gray and brown mixed together...whatever the name, it's a good color for a redhead!!
Maggie Huffman
2024-06-17 16:41:33 +0000 UTCBottle green?
Mak Wilson
2024-06-17 16:29:25 +0000 UTCLove these interviews. Keep up the great work!
Mak Wilson
2024-06-17 16:27:35 +0000 UTCSo who is actually in charge of the Archeology element of the New Time Team digs.
Larry Besel, Jr.
2024-06-17 16:19:45 +0000 UTCdefinitely green.... a khaki olive type green but definitely a green
Favourite WasteofTime
2024-06-17 16:03:02 +0000 UTCIn that light, on camera, through our screen, the jacket is olive green with brown lining. But like any colors, they likely change slightly by light and projection. Regardless, it’s a lovely coat!
Elizabeth Esser
2024-06-17 15:27:17 +0000 UTCI'd call it "olive drab", which the Oxford English Dictionary describes as "a brownish green colour," and Webster's New World calls "a shade of greenish-brown."
Ralph Moon
2024-06-17 15:23:23 +0000 UTCDo you suppose Hilda is tetrachromatic ? A handful of women are, and it gives them a superhuman abllity to discriminate colours
Robert Ernest Arthur Harvey
2024-06-17 15:13:07 +0000 UTCFair's fair, avoiding objectification and all that. I think we need to identify What Derek is wearing
Robert Ernest Arthur Harvey
2024-06-17 14:57:26 +0000 UTCThe trim is most surely chocolate brown. The body is dark green with brown undertones. Loved the episode.
Bethanny Allain
2024-06-17 14:55:15 +0000 UTCGreen. Obviously green.
Martin McGrath
2024-06-17 14:55:13 +0000 UTCIt looks like a wax jacket to me, the style that Barbour made about 4 years ago called "Dale". the corduroy facings and the button placements make sense with that. Barbour normally offer either "Olive Green" or "Brown" in wax jackets, and I reckon that one is Olive Green. But it is Hilda's jacket, I think we should take her word for the brown-ness of it

Suzanne Brown
2024-06-17 13:48:23 +0000 UTCI live in East Anglia and we’ve had some pretty stormy weather over the last few days. I was wondering what damage, if any, a sudden torrential rain storm does to the site. I’m hoping to come and visit Sutton Hoo next week.
Jo
2024-06-17 13:13:16 +0000 UTCOn screen, Hilde’s jacket is a definite green with brown trim.
Jo
2024-06-17 13:11:46 +0000 UTCDefinitely green.
David Boon
2024-06-17 13:07:09 +0000 UTCWill there be an update regarding Geophys and the new ' ship' outline?
Paul Williams
2024-06-17 13:01:15 +0000 UTCYes, looks a shade of green to me, with brown trimmings.
Paul Williams
2024-06-17 12:59:33 +0000 UTCIt looks exactly the same as the Time Team jacket during this segment: green with a brown collar. I bought one of the TT jackets, so feel confident that green is the correct answer!
Alice Murphy
2024-06-17 12:46:25 +0000 UTCjacket colour = "sludge" (greeny-brown or browny-green) - it is browner than her green top she has on under her jacket, but it is greener than the brown cuffs etc
Richard Stedall
2024-06-17 12:40:21 +0000 UTCGreen.

Kate
2024-06-17 12:09:09 +0000 UTCThanks for those answers especially the speed of the troweling. Also are you guys trying to trend like the "is the dress blue or white" from a few years ago? To me it looks green. We need a full investigation.
Carl Johnson
2024-06-17 12:00:33 +0000 UTCLooks brown to me, but then I actually am very much colour blind, so what do I know?
Craig Richardson

Janet Hay
2024-06-17 11:51:59 +0000 UTCOn my screen, the body of the jacket is olive green and the trim is brown.
Julianne Ture
2024-06-17 11:48:13 +0000 UTCTotally green. I’m an artist and I argue about colours with people all the time - basically, we all see colour differently and, we feel colour too. Maybe it’s the TV that makes it look more green. I am volunteering on site from tomorrow so I will seek Hilde out and have a look for myself 🎨 🧐 👍

Mark Freestone
2024-06-17 11:19:21 +0000 UTCAlways great to hear from Hilde, emphasising the responsibility and also the enjoyment. I'd say dark green !

2024-06-17 10:48:07 +0000 UTCPut answer on video on YouTube but maybe that was wrong place to put it so will say here - the jacket looks green to me.
