New Episode | Day 3: Secrets of Wytch Farm | Time Team (Dorset) 2024

It's our final day at Wytch Farm, in the shadow of Corfe Castle, Dorset, where Derek and Lawrence discovered two Iron Age burials back in 2021. They've called in the full team to investigate. Was this a cemetery, and how long have people been living here? Where were they living, and, above all, what were their livelihoods?
Will we uncover the secrets of Wytch Farm? We have just one day left to find out!

    I was critical of Gus and his demeanor at the beginning. He seemed too gentle and cerebral to be able to pass along the excitement that I had come to associate with Time Team due to Tony's energetic style. However, I was wrong. Yes, the styles are very different; but Gus has come into his own here, and the rest of the team - old and new - are just a pure delight. The networks could take lessons from Time Team on how television *should* be done; how it doesn't have to be dumbed down to be entertaining, educational, and delightful. I am so happy that they are here.

    fantastic 30th anniversary episode! This really is my favorite kind of time team, it's difficult ephemeral archaeology that really requires the highest level of expertise and brings to bear the highest level of scientific scrutiny. This kind of stuff that really works towards answering difficult questions about every day people about whom there is next to no written history is really the heart of what modern archaeology is all about. Evaluating sites like these in tight time constraints is what archaeologists really train for and getting as much information as you can to study in the post excavation analysis is a real treasure. As Mick Aston pointed out when pitching the concept, most evaluation excavations are only given that much time if even that and often with far fewer resources, the goal is to get as much as you can to study and hopefully protect the site for future generations. Time team is no doubt an invaluable resource for archaeological work in Britain and a fantastic inspiration for archaeologists everywhere!

    3 for 3 on the production of this dig. Instead of dumbing the information down, letting archaeologist explain the site through their excavations has made it very enjoyable. The use of hypothesis of usage (kiln) then tested through water filtration to prove or disprove those hypothesis was a good demonstration of how different aspects of archaeology come into play to understand site usage. Sadly, the conclusion is the standard 'made for tv' ending of grander speculation than is warranted. 5 out of 5 for the demonstrated archaeology, 2 1/2 out of 5 for the conclusion.

I never tired of the aerial shots showing how beautiful this place is. I hope more research will be done on the site. I was so hoping, actually, that there would be some evidence of Anglo-Saxon habitation, but I remember someone saying that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence so I hope that some day some evidence will be found.
