Books, Manuscripts
Beneath our feet is a lost world of human stories, just a few shovelfuls away from being revealed for the first time in hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. When we think of archaeological digs we might imagine a muddy field, but in the TV show 'The Great British Dig', a team of experts descended on streets and back gardens the length and breadth of the country to discover the treasures we have been living right on top of without ever realising. In this book, on-screen expert Dr Duckworth digs even deeper, exploring the team's techniques in more detail, and offering new insights and explanations about the discoveries made. As well as revealing Roman villas, Viking burial grounds, Norman castles, medieval monasteries, Tudor palaces, old prisons, secret Second World War military bases and prisoner-of-war camps, Chloë includes lots of information for anyone wanting to give it a go themselves.
