Meet the Ancestors: The Killing Field

on BBC Two England

The archaeology series returns with a new six-part run.

In 1968, a ditch in a Gloucestershire field revealed a mass of ancient bones, with a prehistoric bronze spearhead still lodged in the spine of one of the fallen. Last summer, a new excavation was initiated.
Julian Richards joins archaeologists to sift through the evidence to try to find out how and why these Bronze Age people were killed over 3,000 years ago.
