2024-06-13 11:54:26 +0000 UTCYou also have to admire Basil Brown for his post-excavation conservation. Had he not planned ahead there would have been less resources to find again after the war.

2024-06-06 03:05:38 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed this - and Helen & Tony's pub chat. It's super being 'part of the family', and in on the plotting and planning stage. Helen's enthusiasm is SO infectious - what a smashing lass.

2024-06-05 21:56:15 +0000 UTCThanks, Julianne. I'd also love to see the other TV projects if you can offer any titles to search. Cheers

2024-06-05 20:37:15 +0000 UTCAnd this is a real family gathering! Angus and Helen are married, and Martin was her PhD advisor. Iβm pretty sure this is the first time Angus has appeared on Time Team (he and Helen have done other TV projects together).

2024-06-05 16:16:50 +0000 UTCGround truthing??! In times gone by I have seen Tony having arguments with Mick etc, about not digging and leaving something for "future generations", and I agree with his frustration, which now seems to have moderated. A question to throw out there for fellow Teamers and more learned people than myself. If John and his wizard stuff had detected the UNDUG Sutton Hoo in all its glory, with boat, tree nails and goodies clearly shown, today, would we still be talking about leaving it in the ground for future generations?

2024-06-05 08:53:14 +0000 UTCHi Terri. I'm thrilled as well. π Helen's education, experience & passion coupled with Tony's enthusiastic thirst for knowledge add context and set the tone for what will be a momentous & exciting month of all things Sutton Hoo. I still can't believe it...

2024-06-05 02:10:49 +0000 UTCI have to admit - seeing Tony and Helen here, thrills my heart. Love to see they are out there truthing away with such enthusiasm again!
Terri
2024-06-05 01:01:15 +0000 UTC100% ...like we were sitting at the table with them.

2024-06-05 00:20:04 +0000 UTC"Ground truthing..." couldn't be more appropriate. This carefully considered plan makes sense.

2024-06-04 23:39:19 +0000 UTCGater laying down his own rules for a change. Love it. And Tony has definitely mellowed. He used to hate digging up existing trenches. Haha.

2024-06-04 19:52:01 +0000 UTCDepending on what is found when exploring the area of the service 'line' near the lower left is there a good reason not to explore that whole line?
Jim Sales
2024-06-04 19:46:10 +0000 UTCFrom the geophysics alone, this promises to be a very productive and potentially historic dig
