  • Summary

  • Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams talk about the discovery of an ancient Roman knife handle found at Hadrian's Wall. You'll find out why it's not as recent a discovery as news reports might suggest.

    There's news from China where analysis of over one-thousand artefacts are only just starting to reveal new secrets about the people of Sanxingdui, in the western Sichuan province. Ling Xin from Archaeology Magazine explains what life might've been like in this hidden Chinese kingdom.

    You'll also learn the perfect trowelling technique from Time Team's Matt Williams and the show's creator, Tim Taylor, lets you in on his hopes and plans for Time Team's future.

    All that plus an excellent question about stairs in Roman villas. Submit your question to Helen now by supporting us on Patreon. Head to patreon.com/timeteamofficial for more information.
