A small island with a big history - everywhere you stand there are worlds beneath your feat, and archaeologists make it their life's work to uncover the clues that tell our story, unravelling who lived here, when and how. Join Dr Alice Roberts as she visits some of Britain's most exciting archaeological digs in search of the small finds that point towards the bigger picture. Over four episodes and four time periods: Prehistory, the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, and the Tudors, we discover a Norfolk beach which hints at a world of pine forests, hyenas, mammoths,... and early man: the secret of 97 buried infants near a Roman fort; the enormous Frome Hoard of buried coins; deep insights from shallow graves; lost palaces, found theatres, and so much more. Skeletons, swords, temples, coins, wood, pottery, and cobble stone. So many secrets, so many clues, so much history that lies just beneath your feet.
