Helen Geake answers questions on archaeology and history submitted by Time Team members on Patreon.
You'll hear about the items archaeologists take home from a site, the features that are crucial for an archaeological drawing and you'll learn how you can still be an archaeologist without digging in a trench.

There's also Helen's Find, where Helen brings a historical object to your attention. You can see the one mentioned in today's episode at the following link:
