New excavations at Pompeii
Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams discover Pompeii like you've never seen it before.

Dr Sophie Hay was heavily involved in the dig and takes us through the most breathtaking discoveries.
Also, Martyn revisits the site of an old Time Team dig in The Cotswolds where an exciting new discovery has been made.

From Sutton Hoo to Byzantium: Did Anglo-Saxons fight for the Empire?
Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams take you to Sutton Hoo, where Time Team will be returning later this year.
Find out more about a new theory - put forward by Dr Helen Gittos from the University of Oxford - which casts doubt on the current understanding of how opulent Byzantine treasures, found in some of the burial mounds, came to be there. Could it be that Anglo-Saxons were fighting in the Byzantine army?
You'll also hear from the volunteers who are attempting to recreate the 27 metre-long longship which has made Sutton Hoo famous. How close are they to completing the project?
Plus, you'll meet the Patreon volunteer who's excited to return to the Sutton Hoo site and Time Team's Derek Pitman returns with news of a brand new offering over on YouTube.
