Local groups, Time Team and getting involved

Most Time Team programmes involve local archaeological societies and other groups getting involved in the excavation. These enthusiasts make an invaluable contribution to the process by either digging or working with finds. For this episode both the Navenby Archaeological Group (www.oden.co.uk/nag) and the Washingborough Archaeological Group came along to help with washing and processing the finds.

Liz East, chairperson of NAG, enjoyed the experience. 'It's been really nice to help out,' she said. Local councillor Marianne Overton, who also worked with the groups, found that the Time Team experience had a positive effect: 'It's been really good for us to get involved in the production and also quite inspiring in lots of ways.'
