History Cold Case Series 2

History series which sees skeletons of everyday people from across the ages analysed in staggering
detail, opening new windows on the history of our forebears by literally revealing the person behind
the skeleton.
The fascinating work of world-renowned Professor Sue Black OBE and her team at the Centre for Human
Anatomy and Identification at the University of Dundee comes under the spotlight as the team works
on answering three big questions from the skeleton. Who were they? Why did they die? What does their
life story tell us that we didn't know before?
Using the full arsenal of modern forensic anthropology, remarkable stories emerge from long
forgotten bones, along with the faces of people who haven't been seen for hundreds of years. With
forensic science techniques such as carbon dating, bone chemical analysis and facial reconstruction,
they find new layers of detail to add to our knowledge of Britain's past.

Part 1: Skeletons of Windy Pits
Professor Sue Black and her team use forensic science to shed light on the past. For decades experts
have remained baffled by a jumble of human bones discovered in a unique series of caves on the North
York Moors, known as the Windypits. One discovery in particular stands out - a tangle of bones that
might belong to a family from two thousand years ago. The trail to uncover answers about what
happened to these people leads to a dark world of ritual sacrifice and right back to the limits of
British recorded history.
