    Amazing Stonehenge discovery

    Phil Harding tells the Time Team podcast about a remarkable discovery at a site just five kilometres from Stonehenge. Holes thought to have once contained huge wooden posts were discovered which date back 500 years before the stones at Stonehenge were erected. The posts at Bulford line up with the summer and winter solstices, in the same way they do at Stonehenge. It means this new discovery could have been an early prototype for the solar alignment seen at Stonehenge. You'll hear Phil talking to Helen Geake and Martyn Williams, alongside Fabio Silva, an astroarchaeologist, who helped to confirm the findings. There are also details of how you can contribute to Time Team's future research by suggesting sites for new digs. You can help Time Team unearth more of our past by becoming a Time Team member.

    Did we discover a medieval village?

    Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams are back with another edition of the Time Team podcast on YouTube. In this episode Lawrence Shaw and Stewart Ainsworth make the tricky journey to a remote part of Northumberland. Might they have come across the site of a lost medieval village, or perhaps an ancient 'shieling' site? The pair debate how suitable the site might be for a larger Time Team investigation.  Also, Time Team's Carenza Lewis gives an update on work following our dig in the village of Norton Disney and Time Team's graphics whizz, Matt 'Bear' Clark, shows us behind the scenes on some of the works of art he's creating for the programme.  In Time Team News this month you'll learn about the discovery of a site for producing illicit whiskey, the medieval notebook lost in a toilet and the doomed 19th Century expedition to discover new trade routes.
