    It's another question and answer session this week. Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake is taking the questions you've been asking on Patreon. She'll discuss how rich Romans heated their villas in chilly northern Europe, whether archaeologists behave different around human remains depending on the religion the deceased person might've been from; and just how do you date pottery?

    There's also Helen's Find, this week it's this object found in Hampshire:

    Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams are back for another edition of the podcast. This episode is also available to watch on YouTube.

    Time Team's Giselle Király is in the Italian Dolomites discovering human remains left frozen in the ice for 5,000 years. She comes face to face with Ötzi the Iceman, whose body is on display at South Tyrol Archaeology Museum.

    The Festival of Archaeology is in full swing at venues across the UK. Derek Pitman and Lawrence Shaw have been at the festival's launch.

    You'll meet Louise Bedford, the archaeology student who's created her own video game which gives you the opportunity to explore a real dig.

    Helen answers more questions from Patreon supporters and Dani Wootton has this month's edition of Time Team News.

    Here's the link to the Wilton Cross, the British Museum artefact Helen describes:

    Why don't archaeologists deal with dinosaurs?
    Jul 15 2025
    In this question and answers episode Dr Helen Geake brings you her thoughts on archaeology-related queries posed by Patreon supporters. She'll tackle topics about the difference between paleontology and arcaeology, what's done with partially excavated human remains on a dig and whether or not the Anglo-Saxon invasion happened in the way the history books suggest.

    There's also another edition of Helen's Find, where Helen talks about another exciting object. This time it's a metal arrowhead. You can see it here:
