    I'm in my 3rd year as a DV Member all the way from Yukon, Canada. It pleases me to know that my small membership contribution helps to uncover information about my early ancestors and at the same time be a fly on the wall of interesting investigations, attend masterclasses, see behind-the-scenes stuff... You don't have to live in the UK to get involved, join a dig & enjoy all that Dig Ventures has too offer. Thank you, I couldn't be happier. Cheers, Pat/Yukon

    wow, you're at Wittenham. I dug there back in 2006 with the Oxford unit...I believe they might have gone back there after that and Time Team did some as well. I was mainly over the road from where the newts were, but still helped out when they needed to de-newt an area for another trench. Looking at the pictures you have at the start, it looks like you were down in the area that had a lot of clay and baked really hard very quickly. The bit I was working on was those storage pits with the ditches (intercutting in some cases) and the one grave in a round cut that the local news come to do a story on.

    Hi Neil! You’re right, we were in an area with a lot of clay. While the weather was glorious while we were on site, the clay became baked rather quickly. Worth it, though. Great archaeology.

    I like the fact that Julian brought in Mick's love of children. I think the best TT episodes were when the school kids, of whatever age, were involved. And the villagers gathering around at the end and Tony explaining what they had found. Great stuff. I hope they continue that as they go further into the new TT episodes. My favorite Mick saying, altho I believe he attributed it to someone, was when he was talking to a disappointed Tony because they weren't finding anything. Mick said: the absence of evidence isn't necessarily evidence of absence. That really made me stop and think.

    Francis, I've seen your YT on your thoughts about how the germanic groups (Jutes/Angels/Saxson and Frisian came to UK in the past. You absolutly told your story and that was what I was thinking for decades ! What I mist was the roman-time and which germanic groups were llready living in the UK serving the romans and never returned to their homelands.

    Some ancient Roman pottery was toilet paper. Romans made clay pots for voting. They would write their suggestions on it, and the Senate would vote by dropping white, or red rocks into it. And if it was a nay, it was broken apart , and all Romans had to wipe their butts with it. . Have you found nay?

    Seen all the shows I don’t know how many times. Much like that one show with the returned soldiers with various forms of PTSD who were joined by Time Team in a dig, the shows seemed to lull me into a state of equanimity. But there was more, so much more. I enjoyed the comraderie of the cast, the knowledge being freely offered, and the joy of finding that sherd or coin that would date the lines, the post holes or the walls. Mick, of the multi-colored jumper and the shocked white hair is greatly missed in this home. 🥲 Respect and love from Northern California Mick, wherever you may be.

    I very much enjoyed Freddy's artefact presentation, particularly the small coin. King Edward does rather look like he has come off worst in a fist fight! Is there any documentary evidence of what happened to the villagers displaced by the 'industrialisation' of wool production in medieval England? It was a major factor in the growth of the economy of England at that time, but it would be interesting to know how this story compares with the similar one of the Highland clearances in the 18th century.

    Glad to hear you enjoyed it! And you can learn more about coins with Freddy - have a look at our online course and also digs with Finds Room options: digventures.com/calendar Also great question about documentary evidence for what happened to the people who left these villages! We sent out a reading list to live event attendees, and mention some books in the FAQs at the end which hopefully provide a good starting point for looking into the different and multivarious reasons villages were abandoned. But the evidence for what happened next is very fragmentary! Movement and migration following the decline of individual villages would be fascinating to explore. If you go down that rabbithole, do let us know what you find out!
