About this title

Synopsis

This title is a companion to Channel Four's programme, "Time Team" and includes all the sites excavated up to the publication date. These sites and the archaeological treasures they have yielded serve as a starting point for a quirky, yet fascinating view of British history. Most of us can name at least a few of the major events, places and people of British history, but what is less certain is when these events occurred. Locating them in our mental time line is often difficult. Did the Saxons come before of after the Romans? Did the Black Death and the Plague happen at the same time? When did Charles I lose his head or the members of the Light Brigade charge to their death. Illustrated with over 200 images, the book draws on the expertise of "Time Team" contributors, making the content appealingly idiosyncratic. In addition to information about all the sites shown in the series, five digs will be covered using photo stories, to show a more thorough picture of how the team work, as well as building up a picture of the variety of British History.
