TV's Time Team working with soldiers wounded in Afghanistan on an Anglo-Saxon warrior site

“Today is the day of the rather special Time Team Episode where we will be assisting personnel who have been injured in Afghanistan, carry out an excavation at Barrow Clump, as part of their Operation Nightingale.

“This is an archaeology project which helps aid the rehabilitation of personnel who have been injured, both mentally and physically. It uses the quiet, yet disciplined, thoughtful and physical atmosphere of archaeological excavation to assist in their recovery. Several of the soldiers are now studying for archaeology qualifications.”

Do you like archaeology?

If so, you might like the British version of Time Team’s online “academy” where some of the regulars give introductions to their specialties. They are all on youtube too, so bound to get you caught in the eternal black hole of related videos and suggested channels. You were warned.
