The Rare Artifacts Found In A Lost Anglo-Saxon Cemetery

In this episode, the Time Team conducts a high-stakes rescue mission in a Lincolnshire field where deep plowing threatens a rare Anglo-Saxon cemetery. The excavation reveals a fascinating cross-section of British history, from a 2,500 BC Bronze Age "beaker" burial mound to a 6th-century cemetery aligned with an ancient Roman trackway. High-profile finds include a remarkably tall "warrior woman" buried with military honors, a man clutching a drinking vessel in a unique burial rite, and stunningly preserved glass and amber jewelry. Through forensic analysis and experimental archaeology, we reconstruct the lives and battles of these early settlers who bridged the gap between the fall of Rome and the birth of England.
