ANCESTORS: A PREHISTORY OF BRITAIN IN SEVEN BURIALS (HB)

We often think of Britain springing from nowhere with the arrival of the Romans. Professor Alice Roberts explores what we can learn about the very earliest Britons from their burial sites. Although we have very little evidence of what life was like in prehistorical times, here their stories are told through the bones and funerary offerings left behind. Told through seven fascinating burial sites, this prehistory of Britain teaches us more about ourselves and our history: how people came and went; how we came to be on this island.
