1. While we're busy putting together our first new episode of 2024, join us for a watch-along replay of some of our favourite stories featured across 2023. What was your favourite archaeology story of 2023? Let us know in the comments!

2. Fantastic work. Thank you. Bless 👊

3. This is a really interesting video! But, maybe it is the Finn in me, who wants more distance between humans, but I would prefer if the lady narrator would not be shot so up close. It has nothing to do with the way she looks, I just find the close up somewhat disturbing. 😅

4. So in operation Nightingale I saw the favorite objects table a jew's harp frame. However it was never mentioned. This made me wonder, I can not imagine that in thirty years Time Team never found a jew's harp before. So, did you and can they be studied if you have. Harm J. Linsen, boardmember of the International Jew's Harp Society.

5. I enjoy these visual updates.

6. Evolution nonsense

7. Time Team is Awesome!

8. you are so bright and shiny and you bring so much to archeology and the show and have been a lover of time team and I hope they never lose you because you the love of archeology that's outstanding!

9. I think the clay objects found at Orkney were used for cooking. They are very similar to the Poverty Point objects found at the Poverty Point site in Louisiana, US. The multiple sides helped to regulate the temperature of the earthen ovens.

10. The Burns (actually Riley) Oregon excavation is exciting. Near where I grew up.

11. I have actually commented on this before. As children in Rhodesia I can remember playing Jacks. Now, the Jack was made of metal but the shape is the same. With colours or etchings on the feet, it could be used to gamble, strategy games, even fortune telling. Just a thought. 😃

12. I love how archaeology shows us that humans haven't really changed. People have always loved jewelry, wanted comfortable shoes, had weapons, liked fashion, have always been social, and generally our ancestors going back literally tens of thousands of years weren't that different from us now.

13. It is really nice to see the old Time Timers again like John Gater, Helen Geake, and of kors the one and only Sir Tony. I like this but I miss Phil.👍👍

14. You Brits say 'Brilliant', we Yanks say 'Great', but either one applies to this!

15. Doctor Carenza Lewis really is an un sung hero of contemporary archeological excavation techniques when applied to inhabited sites where residents add to the workforce. It is such a good idea to involve people in their own towns history it seems so obvious but she has pioneered the technique in the last fifteen to twenty years basically since time team stopped airing. I again cannot think of a better person to give a lifetime achievement awards to other than Dr. Lewis. Cheers three times and oh so many happy returns heading into the future.

16. Congratulations carissa!!❤🤗

17. Phenomenal update folks ….. thank you SO much. 👍 My favourites are alwys "prehistory" ….. but whatever epoch a dig covers (particularly love it when older stuff surprises everyone), they never fail to capture my interest.

    Having TimeTeam back in such a magnificent achievement and seeing the increased international aspect (plus of course so many comments from fellow viewers worldwide) is a wonderful antidote to the woes of modern life. I'd love to see some N.American content, especially with the inimitable Milo Rossi (of the YT parish)

    …. and many congratulations to Prof Carenza Lewis on her thoroughly well earned award.

18. Given YouTube’s inane content restrictions, I am really surprised that the well endowed chalk figure is not blurred out (3:54).

19. I love these kinds of updates!

20. Loving the modern Time Team and how it incorporates other countries! Glad to see Helen Geake still on it!!!

21. Love and congratulations to Carenza! She got me hooked on Time Team.

22. In answer to the question, I think the objects are for a game. One can grab it easily. Maybe a bowling type game.

23. Cool 😊😊😊❤❤❤

24. The stone balls are parts of an imitation thunder machine .

25. 44:43 It would be very interesting to see an analysis of no-man’s land in France. Obviously not where it’s contaminated with toxic chemicals, but somewhere where it would represent the terrible fighting there and honor the dead.

26. That piece of antler reminds me of a scrap piece used in modern drilling so that you can drill all the way through without damaging the platform underneath or the drill bit.

27. I was watching digging for Britain last week, they were digging where Henry v built his war ships . The archeologist said it had “never” been investigated before, well Time Team DID in 1999. I would be enraged

28. I like the idea that a bunch of some late Anglo-Saxon teenagers carving a naked giant into the hill while drunk and now it's a national monument.

29. Love these! Reminds me of browsing articles in the encyclopedia as a child… long before computers!

30. Post excavation is not as sexy as the digging, but very important and useful to the future alien anthropologists 🤣

31. Just wish I could give more than one like. Cheers 🙂

32. My sincerest congratulations to Carenza for being awarded the John Coles Landscape Archaeology Medal. But… for the life of me I can't make out what the design of the shapes is supposed to convey. I thought I knew some armchair archaeology, but I'm stumped. Please, Time Team Official, what do those squiggly shapes on the medal represent?

33. What a wonderful find! Well done!

34. I like this! Thanks Time Team

35. Please know the profound appreciation I have for Time Team…. Ive been watching for years…
    My only caution I have with this global newsletter, as a bibical scholar, is the use of science's latest "dating" methodologies to support archealogical dating.
    The commentary leads us to distant times, beyond the bibical time line.

36. I loved seeing Helen lay her hand on the old theater's boards and just pause, as if she were absorbing the energy. I could feel her emotion. ❤

37. As always..Great Job Time Team..thanks!!

38. Great fun to locate the site on Google Earth – a true history lesson.

39. John! Loved you on time team. Love the Ness and never knew it was your work that brought it to light

40. 10,000 yrs old Sandals is mind blowing but also that the sage brush was tough wood was harvested & stripped into threads!

    Reminds me of the Haida’s ancient use of inner pith of Cedar Bark for clothing & especially their regalia as Chiefs & royals which they totalling uphold today. You’d at least have a chance to see & dig with Haida archeologists to uncover caves, paintings, ancient tools & shoreline fishing methods, plus learn about this impressive powerfully intact & still living & thriving culture. The Haida Nations are leaders, elders & Guujaaw for uplifting & reminding of all BC First Nations who were so devastated by the government’s plethora of death, destruction & hellfire amidst the deadly colonialism era of your Queen! What a Hoe she was as are the rest of those scumbag inhumane sewage.
    The Haida Nation royals recently made precedence when they stripped Hereditary Chiefs of their inherited roles due to their Betrayal of their policies & directions by supporting Oil Drilling in dangerously shallow & wild waters of the Hecate straight was led by Elders who are steeped in Traditional laws, language & ways! Their amazing & you’d have a better chance to see their secrets of ancient caves, gorgeous shiny Black argylite stone carvings finds & paintings most of us never get to know or see.

43. Awesome! Sadly the artists renditions don’t come close to compare with your former Artist extroidinaire! He was exceptional in every way given what he survived!
