It's another episode of the Time Team podcast devoted to answering your questions. Dr Helen Geake responds to what you've been asking on Patreon.

You'll find out about the dark side of metal detecting, whether our ancestors were buried or cremated and why farmers can continue to plough the soil at scheduled monuments.

Plus, Helen's find this week is a spindle whorl. You can find out about one from a Time Team dig at Codnor Castle here:

And here's a link to one that's illustrated on the Portable Antiquities Scheme:
