Synopsis:

Ambitious, bold and multi-layered, Digging for Britain unearths the amazing stories and thrilling treasures hidden just below Britain's surface. Following the lead of the experts it cross-references one discovery against another, using new information to illuminate existing collections and building a fascinating picture of life in bygone eras. Join Dr Alice Roberts as she visits some of Britain's most exciting archaeological digs in search of the small finds that point towards the bigger picture. In Series 1 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; deep insights from shallow graves; lost palaces, found theatres and so much more. With brand new digs that challenge the history books and push the boundaries of science, Series 2 highlights include a Roman settlement that defies all ideas about South West England at this time, and a site in Jersey which shows that, before becoming the human race's biggest failures, Neanderthals were masters of invention, adaptation and survival. Skeletons, swords, temples, coins, wood, pottery and cobble stone, so many secrets, so many clues, so much history that lies just beneath the surface.

Dr Alice Roberts follows a year of British archaeology, joining up the results of digs and investigations the length of the country.
