Time Team archaeologist Helen Geake answers questions from Time Team members in this episode of the podcast.
There's a discussion about Purbeck marble, a question about the everyday household items that are lost to archaeology, thoughts on patriarchal societies and whether Helen would ever write a novel.
In Helen's Find you discover more about an ancient item. This time it's a musical instrument. You can see it here:
