The odds are stacking up: I write the wiki page for lifting stones, and the same day my friend asks me whether I want to go to a book launch about stone lifting the next day. I write the proposal for settlement=transhumance, and same week #TimeTeam has a video about a possible shieling. Weird. #OpenStreetMap #BaaderMeinhofEffect

As a #TimeTeam patreon, I was watching a fairly short clip of them introducing a new site in Mapperton (!) today. And I spotted a mounting block! I'm probably the only person getting excited about that, but it's mapped now. And a few more things. I mean, I can hardly leave a place like Mapperton without doing a few bits. Who knew we had our own town? #OpenStreetMap

Archaeology is Rubbish by Tony Robinson & Prof Mick Aston. This well-written storified skip through the process of a commercial archaeology dig is a fun and interesting read. I picked it up on a whim in the library then bought my own copy to augment my medieval #archaeology degree which taught me no practical skills whatsoever 😄 If you love/d #TimeTeam or are just generally interested in archaeology I recommend it, though some techniques have really moved on since 2002 #books #bookstodon 🧵6

The new episode of Time Team that got released this evening on YouTube was fascinating. A two day rescue dig after finding another Anglo Saxon burial in the last hour of their previous Princely Burial episode with Operation Nightingale.
Helen and Jackie feel like they are really carrying the torch for the old Time Team crew as well.

Story about how ‘Time Team’ has made a crowdfunded comeback: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jan/03/from-iron-age-tunnels-to-youtube-time-teams-extraordinary-digital-renaissance
For background: ‘Time Team’ was an archaeology TV programme produced by Channel 4 in the UK starting in the early 1990s. Each episode showed a high-speed (but completely serious) investigation of a particular site over a three-day period, aided by what were then relatively new archaeological geophysical techniques. The actor Tony Robinson was presenter and the late Mick Aston headed the archaeological team. There is a good collection of Wikipedia articles [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Team] although I seem to remember that a few of the episode summaries are questionable.
I must have watched almost every episode during the 90s and early 00s, although I left the UK long before it was cancelled in 2014, apparently after various controversial changes to the format. It has been great to see its online revival over recent years.
All the old episodes are available on the ‘Time Team Classics’ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TimeTeamClassics
And here is the website for the revival: https://www.timeteamdigital.com/

#TimeTeam is one of my go-to shows when I need something to unwind with. I feel like I might have ended up becoming an archaeologist if I had watched it growing up

Fun fact, #TimeTeam S706 (originally aired in 2000, recently rerun on their youtube channel) was a dig with Nick Ashton and the British Museum (same team behind the story above research) involving the same site. In it Phil Harding and John Lord attempt and utterly fail to start a fire with flint and pyrite. Just goes to show, not everything you see on telly is real 🤣

👀 "The latest work has again been made possible by funding from Time Team … last summer we conducted several types of geophysics and what that has showed up is something quite extraordinary"

Oooh, Martyn Williams being introduced ahead of Helen Geake on the #TimeTeam podcast makes my blood boil. I'm sure he's a perfectly pleasant guy but I don't rate his presenting and in terms of #archaeology he's not fit to lick HG's boots. I wouldn't listen if it wasn't for Helen Geake. Give the female expert top billing, not the male presentery-type guy.

The digger operators should’ve gotten more recognition imo #TimeTeam

Abendbeschäftigung: Hexi-Blüten nähen für meinen Quilt to be und dabei #TimeTeam gucken, Heißgetränk schlürfen und mir jedes Mal selbst gratulieren, wenn ich ausgebuddelte Scherben oder andere Dinge richtig datiere. 😆

Enjoying my Patreon membership of Time Team, and the bonus content we get to see as a result. They’re digging at Sutton Hoo again right now, and we’re currently watching a patron-only video with Stewart Ainsworth exploring and musing over the landscape. https://www.timeteamdigital.com #TimeTeam #archaeology #SuttonHoo

Czy moglibyśmy mieć już w Polsce taki program tv o #archeologia jak #TimeTeam albo #DiggingforBritain? Czy będę skazany na wieczne oglądanie brytyjskich wykopalisk a nie polskich?

#TimeTeam, (in)famous for digging entire sites in just three days, spend four excavating the inside of a bucket
(In fairness, it's a very good bucket)
