Description

It's another question and answer session this week. Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake is taking the questions you've been asking on Patreon. She'll discuss how rich Romans heated their villas in chilly northern Europe, whether archaeologists behave different around human remains depending on the religion the deceased person might've been from; and just how do you date pottery?



There's also Helen's Find, this week it's this object found in Hampshire:

Don't forget, you can submit your question to Helen for a future edition of the podcast. Go to patreon.com/timeteamofficial and join us in funding archaeology across the UK and around the world.
