Time Team Live 2001 may have finished but you can still update yourself on the dig on the Live website pages. Get close to the action with Saxon specialist Andrew Reynolds in his special video report. Watch the Anglo-Saxon replica ship set sail, and check out a reconstruction of the ghostly pair of skeletons. You will need Real Player 8 to view these clips.

Mick Aston's closing remarks and Matthew Reynolds' conclusions round up the three days, while Robin Bush argues that the graves were those of Jutes, a people who became victims of West Saxon 'ethnic cleansing'. And don't forget that discussion of the dig continues on the Time Team Forum where you can ask questions or make your own contributions to the debate about this remarkable site.
