Life on the Edge 1000 BC: A Time Team Special
Monday 27 June 2005

Tony Robinson and the team visit the banks of the River Witham, just outside Lincoln, where archaeologists are digging up evidence of a major Bronze Age settlement.

(Yes I know I'm supposed to be gone from here until the next series but I didn't want you to miss this one .... )

Thanks, Steve. Much appreciated. It looks an interesting one.

Thanks Steve - it looks interesting.

We knew you probably couldn't resist looking in - but so soon!

You'll have to register.... <vbg>

Dont forget to set your video Bruce

I hope its as good as the previous digs. I find myself being drawn in lock stock and barrel
Great Series

Really enjoyed this programme - my favourite this year.

That carved stone was so similar to cup and rings I've seen the interpretation of a casting mould really got me thinking.

Yes a great programme, especially the lovely casting mould. BUT, wish we could have a look at good archeological drawings of objects excavated, they are so much clearer than photographs. Two good virtual reality pots - what a gorgeous shape they were. Why does it all have to be covered up again? It happens too often. Pepinouska. PS to Venutius - going to sign that petition NOW.

Oh what a lot to see ! I'd have given a lot to bring on my rheumatism on that dig, what with all the features and the swag. Great programme and a format I really enjoy. More like this.

There's an almost identical stone to that in the Arch. & Anth. Museum in Cambridge.

Cheers Tet, I'll have to pay a visit.

Cheers to Pep too!

A real return to form. Compelling. Cup and ring carvings as moulds, eh? That's a thought.
