Shoreline Detectives: Ancient Ships, Forts, and Villages

Our coastlines are rich in archaeology. Abandoned villages, prehistoric footprints, shipwrecks, and submerged forests: they're all clues to how our ancestors survived on the coast, how they learned to live alongside the sea. Palaeontologist Dr. Tori Herridge and experts from the Coastal & Inter-tidal Archaeological Network investigate the stories behind these intriguing remains.
