First transmitted in 1978. Professor Colin Renfrew and his team have been digging at Phylakopi, on the Greek island of Melos (now known as Milos) for ten years. During this time they've uncovered a great deal about Bronze Age and Classical Greece, including information on society after Minoan Crete took over the island and details of the population's diet 4,000 years ago. The project illustrates how an excavation is carried out and the care and dedication of those involved. Show less
