We catch up with old friend and authority on Anglo-Saxon archaeology, Prof Helena Hamerow for a wide ranging discussion, covering everything from Saxon royal power bases to discoveries including the Staffordshire Hoard.
Helena – a key contributor to our dig at Sutton Courtenay, featured in last week's Time Team Classic – takes a closer look at Saxon royal great halls, including an incredible recent reconstruction at a neighbouring site in Long Wittenham, Oxfordshire. Prof Hamerow also sheds light on a fascinating period of history when royal women wielded a significant degree of power and influence.
The original video interview is available to watch on the Time Team Official YouTube Channel.

Going back to Dorchester would be a great idea for 25th anniversary. I’ve watched the little snippet of the pilot episode and that would be a great entry into a new exploration of the community. Especially if you did some interviews with some of the team members to describe what they found the first time. Please research that possibility seriously!
