Dr Alice Roberts follows an entire year of British archaeology, joining up the results of digs and
investigations the length of the country. The results are astonishing and sometimes disturbing.

3. Age of Bronze and Iron
Dr Alice Roberts travels back to the Ages of Bronze and Iron to discover what kind of a place
Britain was before the Romans invaded. With no written history, only archaeology can provide the
clues. Alice uncovers a world that is complex, sophisticated and pretty strange. She examines the
two Hebridean Bronze Age skeletons known as the Cladh Hallan Mummies. Not only do they appear to
have been mummified, new analysis has revealed they are made up of a jigsaw of different people.
What did our ancestors use the mummies for? And are there more British mummies out there? In
Norfolk, Alice gets her hands dirty - helping to pull up timber from a huge prehistoric monument
that has been hidden in mud for at least 2,000 years. And she visits the famous Roman town of
Silchester, near Reading, where archaeologists are digging below the Roman layers to reveal the Iron
Age settlement that lies beneath, uncovering evidence for a sophisticated pre-Roman lifestyle.
