with the national trust to carry out new cutting-edge geophysics and photogrammetry surveys at the official anglo-saxon royal burial ground at sutton who and adjacent cemeteries using state-of-the-art technology this landmark project will shed new light on this iconic site enabling us to map the landscape above and below the ground in definition previously unimaginable potentially identifying new

reconstruction project in addition we're looking ahead to next year's digs and have a tantalizingly long list of sites shaping up for 2022 covering a wide range of historic periods and locations and we've introduced what we're calling the aura project or archaeological unit for research and assessment time team's arm for developing potential sites some that may otherwise lay forgotten we can carry out initial survey work similar to our new activities at sutton who and under the right conditions some of these might well develop into full excavations and once again we'll be asking you to make some of your choices about which we should do one of the most exciting aspects of the new time team is that via patreon fans are playing an active role throughout the process right from the initial research and development helping us to select sites joining us behind the scenes during the digs and now in the post-production stage it's a fresh approach that we intend to build on further

initially be available to our patrons while we have no guarantee that any site will be feasible it's the first crucial step in putting your best case forward for time team to consider we'll be sharing
