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.
