Digging for Britain

Alice Roberts shares the best archaeological discoveries of 2018

Alice Roberts shares the best archaeological discoveries of 2018, starting with the North of the UK and a preserved prehistoric village at the black Loch in Myrton. The programme also follows archaeologists uncovering a previously unknown Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Lincolnshire, and a major regeneration project in Salford, unearthing the largest jail in Georgian England. Cameras join the hunt for a lost Second World War reconnaissance Spitfire in Norway and enjoy privileged access to the conservation labs at Vindolanda Roman fort to see what really happens when the digging stops
