BBC One - Attenborough and the Mammoth Graveyard

Sir David Attenborough uncovers an Ice Age mammoth mystery on the outskirts of Swindon.

Sir David Attenborough joins archaeologists excavating mammoth remains near Swindon to discover whether Neanderthals might have killed the Ice Age beasts.

Sir David Attenborough joins an archaeological dig uncovering Britain’s biggest mammoth discovery in almost 20 years.

In 2017, in a gravel quarry near Swindon, two amateur fossil hunters found an extraordinary cache of Ice Age mammoth remains and a stone hand-axe made by a Neanderthal.

Professor Ben Garrod joins the team at DigVentures during the excavation as they try to discover why the mammoths were here and how they died. Could the Neanderthals have killed these Ice Age giants?
