Join Dr. Alice Roberts as she visits some of Britains most exciting archaeological digs in search of the small finds that point toward the bigger picture. Over four episodes and four time periods: Prehistory, the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons and the Tudors, we discover a Norfolk beach which hints at a world of pine forests, hyenas, mammoths...and early man; the secret of the 97 buried infants near a Roman fort; the enormous Frome Hoard of buried coins; deep insights from shallow graves; lost palaces, found theatres and so much more. Skeletons, swords, temples, coins, wood, pottery and cobble stone. So many secrets, so many clues, so much history that lies just beneath your feet!
