As Roberts shows, sometimes discoveries are made by professional archaeologists, sometimes by amateur enthusiasts, and sometimes by crews on building sites.

The ThamesVideon är inte tillgänglig för tillfället16 april 201652minÖVER 16 ÅRTraveling to the east of Britain, Roberts highlights the most exciting recent finds. In the Thames Estuary, divers battle the elements to solve a maritime mystery dating from the 1600s. Back on land, a team of archaeologists uncover a mass grave in the British capital, and an amateur metal-detectorist discovers how desperate the Anglo-Saxons were to make the Vikings go away.

But as Roberts explains, sometimes discoveries are made when least expected, such as when a new housing development unearths a graveyard of Iron Age warriors whose tribe may have traveled from continental Europe to settle in Yorkshire.
