  • Potential Viking boat burial on Shetland

    Potential Viking boat burial on Shetland
    2025/07/08
    Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams are joined by Time Team archaeologist Jackie McKinley. She's been part of the team investigating a potential Viking boat burial in the most northern part of the UK. She gives us a sense of what it was like working in driving rain and high winds, as well as the clues which could point to a Viking boat being hidden beneath the soil.

    Archaeologists have discovered evidence of a Roman temporary camp in The Netherlands. It's been found north of the known frontier of the empire. What does it mean for our understanding of the Romans? Dr Saskia Stevens from Utrecht University will shed some light on her research.

    Martyn investigates the complexities of magnetometry and how they can help the archaeological process and Patreon supporters pose their questions to Helen.
