England's Pompeii

Time Team

In this episode of the Time Team podcast Dr Helen Geake and Martyn Williams hear about the latest discoveries at a site dubbed England's Pompeii. You'll find out how the Bronze Age settlement, home to around 60 people, burned down in 850BC but has been almost-perfectly preserved, giving a snapshot of what life in Cambridgeshire was like around 3,000 years ago. Mark Knight, from the Cambridge Archaeological Unit, tells you everything you need to know.
Also on the podcast, Time Team's Stewart Ainsworth is out in a muddy field with Martyn, explaining how LiDAR can be used to reveal hidden secrets about a landscape; the creator of Time Team, Tim Taylor, tells you what happened when Sir Tony Robinson became involved with the programme and Helen will be answering more of the questions you've submitted on Patreon.
