An ancient lump of timber spotted in a quarry in southern England leads to a massive archaeological excavation that reveals a prehistoric village, perfectly preserved in mud and silt.
The village was built at least 1,000 years after Stonehenge was erected. During this same era in Egypt, the pyramids were completed and the golden era of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun came to an end.
Were villages like this isolated places, with inhabitants living difficult and primitive lives? This dig may answer these questions. So experts from around the country will join the team to unlock its secrets.
