The Great British Dig brings history and archaeology closer to home
than ever before. Each week a team of archaeologists (led by
presenter Hugh Dennis) descend on streets and gardens the length
and breadth of the country to discover the treasures we have been
living right on top of without realising. In this official tie-in
book, on-screen expert Dr Chloe Duckworth digs deeper into the
sites the show visited, as well as giving practical tips and advice
for anyone who wants to have a go themselves. Uncovering a lost
world of human stories just a few shovelfuls beneath our feet,
Chloe explores the team's techniques in fascinating detail,
offering new insights and explanations about the discoveries made.
As well as revealing the actual frontier of the Roman Empire in
Britain, the Tudor palace of an Elizabethan spymaster, a
revolutionary Victorian prison, a Second World War military base,
and a prehistoric village under a school playing field, Chloe
includes lots of information for anyone wanting to give it a go
themselves. The book is packed with features, tip boxes and
practical advice about digging in your own back garden, researching
your local area for clues about what might have been there
centuries ago, and dating things you may find. Highly illustrated,
the book includes images never seen on screen, as well as archive
photos and illustrations that bring history to life, and
identification guides to bones, pottery, tools, coins and other
things you might come across yourself. Foreword by Hugh Dennis,
presenter of The Great British Dig.
