  • Mudlarking for London's lost history

    Mudlarking for London's lost history
    Jun 24 2025
    Searching for treasure in the mud on the banks of the river Thames, or mudlarking as it's known, dates back generations. Now specially licenced mudlarks comb the foreshore looking for clues to the city's past. You'll meet Tom Coghlan who discovered something truly remarkable, now on display at a new exhibition at London Museum focusing on mudlarking.
    Also on the podcast, archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams speak to Time Team's creator Tim Taylor who's been awarded an MBE in the King's birthday honours.
    Community archaeology project 1722 Waggonway gears up for another dig to understand the country's first wooden railway.
    Plus, Dani Wootton is back with Time Team News.

  • Could another ship be buried at Sutton Hoo?

    Could another ship be buried at Sutton Hoo?
    Jun 10 2025
    It's Time Team's final week digging at Sutton Hoo and it still has secrets to reveal. Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams brave the wind and rain to take you to a new trench that's been opened on the bank of the river. Could work there uncover another Anglo-Saxon ship?

    Helen's been squelching in the mud on the side of river at low tide where Carenza Lewis and her team are looking for evidence of human activity from thousands of years ago. You'll also meet the volunteers who've been given the chance to excavate test pits thanks to their support for Time Team on Patreon.

    As usual Helen will be answering more of your questions at the end of the episode. Submit yours now by joining us at patreon.com/timeteamofficial.
