About Are There Ancient Pictish Artefacts Hidden In This Scottish Cave? | Time Team

Now the caves are under serious threat from erosion; the sea is already lapping at the cliff just below the cave line.

When Time Team Finally Found An Ancient Roman Temple | Time Team

Time Team has never found a Roman temple. But a 30-year-old photograph clearly shows double square cropmarks in a field. Surely this time they will strike lucky? The trouble is, the site may have suffered plough damage. Francis takes charge. Though initial excavations are encouraging, John and Stewart are puzzled by a geophysical anomaly. Including a tessellated pavement and a coin hoard, a picture gradually emerges of not one but four temples - in fact a whole complex of buildings. It proves to be one of the most important excavations in Time Team history. Odyssey is your journey into the world of Ancient History; from the dawn of Mesopotamia to the fall of Rome.

Why Is There Ancient African Pottery In This British Seaside Town? | Time Team

One summer during the 1980s, strange crop marks appeared in two fields on the north Cornish coast near Lellizzick. Locals have picked up a wealth of 1,500-year-old pottery and metalwork from as far away as North Africa and Turkey. Combined with some spectacular geophysics, it all suggested that this was once a busy international trading site. In Mick's opinion copper and tin would have been exchanged for foreign luxury goods. But Time Team are having trouble dating the site. They are joined by Steve Hartgroves from Cornwall County Council, Finds specialist Carl Thorpe, and Byzantine expert Anthea Harris.
