Helen Geake answers more questions from Time Team members about archaeology, history and Time Team. You'll learn about the delicate process of recovering buried finds, ponder the merits of archaeological experience and hear about the Time Team moments Mick Aston would've enjoyed.

In Helen's Find you'll learn about an object discovered through archaeology. This time it's a small sundial. You can see it here:
