Time Team

Join us, this Sunday to watch "'From Forest to Front Line", a special episode from Time Team's Expedition Crew, in collaboration with Forestry England.

Between 1915 and 1920, hundreds of thousands of troops were based at Clipstone Camp, Nottinghamshire. Lawrence has assembled a team, including people from Forestry England, Operation Nightingale, Nottinghamshire Council and, of course, Time Team, to investigate a training area that's been protected by trees for nearly 100 years.

Full episode premiere: Sunday 28th July at 7pm (BST) on the Time Team Official YouTube channel.

Sam Wilson, Time Team's conflict archaeologist, visits the site of an archaeological project exploring battlefields of Operation Cobra in Normandy led by Cameron Ross, the director of the Battlefield Archaeology Group. He meets the team of international archaeologists and volunteers for their 3rd season of exploring the archaeology of Operation Cobra. Operation Cobra was a major allied operation that finally broke through the German defence in Normandy in 1944.  The project is the first time a World War Two battlefield in Normandy has been studied in its entirety. It involved intensive geophysics, to locate German positions in the first phase of the breakthrough as well as strategic metal detecting.

Since 2015, Waterloo Uncovered has been excavating the iconic battlefield of Waterloo, uncovering fascinating insights about this pivotal moment in history.

Along the way, we'll also explore highlights from Waterloo Uncovered's digs over the years, showcasing their ongoing work and discoveries. Don't miss this epic adventure!

The island of Rousay in Orkney holds so many archeological wonders it has been nicknamed ‘The Egypt of the North'. On its southern coast lies the Knowe of Swandro, a complex multi-period site that has been under excavation for over ten years. Time Team favourite Dr John Gater visits the site to see what new discoveries have been made and learn how the team are battling the elements in a race against time to excavate before Swandro is lost to the sea.
