A major research project will take place to “reach the undisturbed archaeology” at a site famous for unearthing an Anglo Saxon burial ship.
The National Trust, which owns the site, said the two-year research project at Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge, Suffolk, will aim to grow its understanding of the land.

The excavation will be filmed by Time Team as a series exclusive for a documentary special, hosted by Sir Tony Robinson.
The project, which starts in June, will build on work carried out by Time Team in 2021 and 2023.
Mr Wainwright said previous work by Time Team identified mysterious features in Garden Field, Sutton Hoo.
“We know from previous work in this field, it’s likely we will find prehistoric flint tools and fragments of Anglo Saxon objects from burials scattered through the plough soil, but working out what the mysterious geophysical anomalies are will be our focus.”

Wait wait wait, time team is still broadcasting new episodes? Surely they have dug up most of the UK by now.
They aren’t on telly as often, but they keep going on YouTube.
They got ditched by channel 4 a year or so ago, but started again recently. They are funded by Patreon and are posted onto YouTube.
They are a somewhat smaller scale now though and less often.
