Time Team

How do Roman villas get forgotten about?


Listen Later

Time Team members are an inquisitive bunch. We've devoted the whole of this episode to answering more of your questions. Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake will be pondering whether special vaccinations are needed to dig up ancient human remains, how necessary it is to cut down vegetation to conduct a geophysical survey and how the outlines of long forgotten buildings show up in hot weather.

Helen's Find also returns. This time it's a look at an object close to Helen's heart. So close she's got an image of it mounted on the wall behind her! You can investigate the Wilton Cross yourself by following this link to the British Museum.

Thanks to all our members for suggesting questions. If you want to become one you'll get the chance to ask Helen something. You also get so much more from Time Team including masterclasses, behind the scenes videos, extended interviews and the chance to dig with us.
Head to patreon.com/timeteamofficial to find out how you can get involved.
