In this documentary, forensic geologist Scott Walter investigates the enduring mystery of the Menahune, a legendary race of "little people" said to have inhabited the Hawaiian Islands long before the arrival of the Polynesians. By examining sophisticated dry-stack masonry at the Menahune Ditch on Kaua'i and comparing legends with the archaeological discovery of Homo floresiensis, Walter explores whether these mythical builders were a real, distinct ethnic group or a forgotten lower class of ancient engineers. From sacred navigation sites on the forbidden island of Kaho’olawe to high-tech forensic analysis of volcanic rock, we uncover the truth hidden within Polynesian oral history.

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.
