interviews with the world's best historians we've got an exclusive offer available to fans of timeline if you go to history hit TV you can either follow the information below this video or just Google history hit TV and use the code timeline you get a special introductory offer go and check it out in the meantime enjoy this video hidden among these trees is a Saxon site full of unbelievable treasures baroque lump was once a huge burial mound where warriors and their families were laid to rest with all their riches well for three days time teams joining up banding together with a team of soldiers to piece together the story of this site they found hollow you want to dig there don't sweetie who's buried here when and why that is no Sh and as it's a military site we'll be eating in here starting to dig at exactly Oh nine hundred hours and sleeping in these well some of us will not make obviously not for three days [Music] welcome to Seoul's reclaim this is holding promoting for me always love it love it up here you're really looking forward to this dig on your action you're really really looking for is it the archeology or is it a military muscle the phobia over the past month a team of soldiers have been working alongside military experts and wessex archeology on a project to excavate a site of real importance [Music] for the next three days we'll be joined by a crack force of time teamers I move beloved shovel mustn't go anywhere without my shovel bro the show is in those trees this place known as barrow clump is in the middle of the mo Dee's training ground on Salisbury Plain Wiltshire it's in a landscape with serious prehistoric pedigree the Bronze Age people who were building Stonehenge around 2000 BC also created hundreds of barrow monuments huge man-made mounds of Earth surrounded by a ditch Bronze Age people used them to bury their dead 2,500 years later in the 6th century the anglo-saxons reused baroque lump as a cemetery for their dead they buried men women and children with staggering artifacts from Spears to spoons beads to brooches and the reason we know all this badgers there's a race against time before their intense borrowing decimates the archeology this is the first year of a three-year dig to completely excavate this site and Richard what a sight it is oh it's pretty impressive isn't it's not see a big excavation like this on the plane so what do you want us to do I want you to help me in establishing whether there are burials on the north side of the mound we know they're all around here are there any here so where we gonna put our first trenches it's gonna go in there the current state of knowledge if you're like is a plan that shows us some of the barriers these blue squares and you can see that they're primarily around the perimeter of the monument in the ditch now this trench will actually extend the search in this direction to actually see if the burials continue around here it will also enable Richard to get a complete slice through the monument itself is not just an excavation of anglo-saxon burials got to examine the Bronze Age as well so how BIG's this trench gonna be it's gonna be about 40 minutes long why so big because that's how long he wants it normally I live expected an archaeological explanation but we're on a military site we do what we're told nobody's ever looked at this half of the Barrow before so this whopping great trench is a window into uncharted territory a time slice running from the center to the perimeter ditch first it'll enable sergeant Phil and private Raksha to work out the entire size and date of the Bronze Age Barrow secondly it'll tell us if there are any anglo-saxon graves in this half I hope we find more than we did the last time we worked on Salisbury Plain in well you could be in luck because before we even arrived 25 anglo-saxon skeletons had already been unearthed some nice-looking female a key question the team want to answer is if there's a pattern to the burials time teams Cassie Newland has been drafted to help excavate one of the graves so we've got an adult because the size of the bones the trouble seems to come when you get down to the feet I mean I've got nothing here you might have a bit of ankle bone possibly and toe bones but they're disintegrating the guys here are a mix of serving soldiers and those in the process of leaving the forces they've been here for four weeks on operation nightingale a pioneering scheme funded by the army and charity to help soldiers recover from injuries sustained in front-line Afghanistan alongside the visible wounds of double amputations and burns a hidden scars deafness blindness severe post-traumatic stress and depression one of the people behind the project's development was site supervisor corporal Steve Winterton an explosion in Afghanistan left him with spinal damage and depression coming to terms with losing a career that you loved and enjoyed doing to suddenly having nothing and being sat at home and what my actually doing today yes it was hard very hard he just weaved ruin to himself he wasn't motivated in spending time with us doing anything with the children didn't see him smile for a long time you were more than just depressed at work yeah yeah I was suicidal I was had a backpack to us ready to go and do something stupid to be honest [Music] one thing kept Steve going time team lifting him out of depression it sparked off the whole idea for operation nightingale we had it on permanent record all the series and he would sit there every day some days he wouldn't even get dressed and he would sit there and just watch time team what was it about time team that attracted you so much just a bunch of hippies in a field filler Arden in their mark pants you know you just can't get away from no I don't know what it was it was just to me it was help me relax I don't know why just watching people just get along just digging a hole seeing what was in it I don't know it's very strange for me it's just it really did help me relax one year on and Steve's leaving the army to study and pursue a career in archaeology Barrow Klump is the sixth stop Nightingale dig sergeant Dermot Walsh looks after soldier welfare we've had a number soldiers when they've arrived we'll come in they will go into the coroner they will not engage they've become very motivators and what we find when you come here very quickly they will start off coming that is a stealing Hospital what we're doing it has rebuilt her self-esteem the project provides the soldiers with new skills and working as a close team helps them readjust to everyday life and as an introduction to archaeology Barrow clump takes some beating already Casas brave is revealing its first find we might know something else about it because we think we probably got a man if that turns out to be what it looks an awful lot like it's turning out to be how is it is it looking like a boss just looking a lot more like a shield boss and a lot less like a being Tim now a decent point on the top that's coming into this sort of conical shape here it's not starting to flatten out yet I just hope this isn't a really weird more to show you and me both it was common for anglo-saxon warriors to be buried with a shield covering the face the boss was the metal centerpiece it's all the remains now the wooden board has rotted away and is the fourth one discovered so far [Music] unfortunately in his trench Phil's not striking quite so lucky [Music] instead mid-afternoon and fill-in raksha are still stripping topsoil from their enormous trench through one half of the barrow but given what's coming out of the rest of the site this was once a substantial Monument a magnet for anglo-saxons who often deliberately chose ancient places to bury their dead anglo-saxons were a combination of three powerful tribes Angles Saxons and Jutes warrior farmers from Northwest Europe they started settling in Britain around 450 ad establishing kingdoms each with their own royal family Barrow clump was in the kingdom of Wessex to piece together a picture of the community buried here we've enlisted our Saxon specialist Helen geek presumably these didn't all come up today and and their finds that are absolutely typical of an anglo-saxon cemetery and the beads traded from the baltic and an antique brooch are among the riches already found at barrow clump spears presumably yep a range of spear has all quite small but all nicely dateable all six century and brooches yep this is really worth looking at closely this this has thick gilding over copper alloy and they would have used mercury to stick the gilding on so we've got a lot of materials that are difficult to get hold of difficult to transport mercury if they're all here on this brooch why do they get buried with so much stuff I mean our kids would be furious now if we got buried in our Rolexes wouldn't I know but it's partly conspicuous consumption and it's partly the the family that all the mourners showing what the the dead person was like you know let's bury her and her favorite things or her best things well we'll paint a picture of what their role in society was really the fine speak of a relatively wealthy cosmopolitan people living in the 6th century but the symmetry also contains what appear to be warrior graves and poor people with nothing a tough challenge lies ahead to work out burial patterns and who this community was it's so fantastic to be on an archaeological site where there are so many discreet little excavations so many people concentrating so many finds have not counted the number of skeletons mind you compare that with what's going on over here hey guys you're gonna have to do a bit of work aren't you to match up with what they're doing we've been stripping back all day but nothing Saxon nothin Bronze Age look that is the challenge for tomorrow what we want to do is throw some labour at that part of the monument to actually go down into the ditch and actually see whether this the cemetery exists so you've got all these people over there give us some tomorrow tell you one and they've taken the topsoil off go tidy [Laughter] day two Barrow clump Salisbury Plain its o'clock in the morning and this being the army it's time for everyone to get up right tight the gap and that includes our time team campers but at least we can rely on one-time team stalwart to be upon at ease at the crack of dawn a pick and shovel trowel it back brush it up do whatever you like that makes sense okay working alongside injured soldiers from the rifles we're helping excavate a Bronze Age burial mound later used as an anglo-saxon cemetery time teams bone expert Jackie McKinley is working out the age and sex of all the burials waged between a man and teenager this burial was looking decidedly female yesterday exposing specific parts of the skeleton should confirm it now I can see the pelvis I can see it really you know you've got this nice wide angle and sciatic not so it confirms what I thought about how tiny she was and that it was gonna be female she's ever open yeah well if you look at her jaw you can see she lost a lot of her back teeth and the front teeth is so heavily worn so she's going to be quite an elderly individual who's had had quite a lot of chewing in her life but this is one of the things I love about this grain they cut into the Bronze Age ditch and they cut this lovely little alcove in which her feet were just healed had been here and her feet would have gone up here so right against the edge and if you look really carefully you can see little scratch marks where they've cut down through the chalk and then prized it up and that is just so gorgeous southern life hello yeah it is that's a perfect place for a knife on a belt so belt would have been sung about the waist or the hips and you've got this here as well so that suggests a book any sign of disease or trauma well one of the things that's interesting about this is we've got the remains of a fracture on the ulnar can you see that little bony callus there where the bone looks sort of lumpy oh well that's a healed fracture and looking at it position it's a classic location but what we call a peri fracture if you think if somebody's going for your head with something you put your arm up to protect yourself I'll show is pairing as in trust and power yeah and it's a classic place to get a blow is to that part of your illness and it breaks the bone but it's healed quite nicely so it wouldn't have caused there any massive problems but it could be that you know she's a quite a small woman she might have been subject to either domestic violence or maybe she looked at something else he's bloke in the wrong way this is more CSI than time team we can date this burial to the sixth century along with all the others so far but while this half of the Barrow is packed with bodies where Phil's digging it's the exact opposite he's got a huge trench running from the center of the barrier to where the outer ditch should be we want to work out the size and date of the Barrow and also if the anglo-saxons used this half of the monument to bury their dead what if Phil listen we've got sir we've got a trench as long as the sprinters part of an Olympic track two days left we already have found something Tony masses and masses of God's answer to technology blend very very very old tools thousands of years older than what we're looking for the Anglo Saxon graves no we're not just looking for anglo-saxon graves we are looking for anything that has got to do with the story of this monument but apart from his prehistoric Lego do you think that there's a real chance that we'll come up with something I'm still pretty confident it took us a few days to find a lot of the burials on the other side we didn't think there was anything there initially things will resolve themselves I'm still pretty confident well Phil's small army keep digging in his trench elsewhere the rest of the soldiers are adding to the tally of anglo-saxon skeletons on site ta soldier Dave Hart was left fighting for his life after an explosion in Afghanistan I was blown out into the road and unfortunately I being quite close to the radio batteries so I ended up quite badly on fire and my left arm was effectively severed but the surgeons luckily managed to save it find it kind of humbling in a way that something that has been an obsession to me is actually of being of real benefit and help them to rebuild other people's lives what do you what do you get out of it a great sense of enjoyment really yeah it's really interesting and kind of really stimulating stuff above all that I don't think it's really wasted on any of us that you know essentially digging up worries of the past what more do you want to find or what more do you want to go about the time that you earlier I would love a any find appointment do but it's all an elaborate ruse really because I'm only here for a spare humerus to survive on one of those I'm off [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] right now on site there are six skeletons under excavation including Casas burial which is looking distinctly warrior-like can see another trench yeah it's not bad is it what's this thing here well this beautiful item is a lovely shield boss so you know the nice point to be at the sticks out the front to deflect all the blows yeah yeah it's not apparently on anything is it no that's a you interpret there to be a head there ah we've got a lot of him but we are missing a fairly crucial point helping Cassie excavate is rifleman Kenney Kendrick who suffered a mental breakdown after serving in Iraq then is this the first curtain you've excavated notice the fourth oh so you don't handle this kind of thing yeah how long have you been doing this archeology long as four weeks four weeks you've already done four skeleton it it's not very long ken is responsible for an earthing one of the most unusual finds so far this fragile bucket has been bandaged up in readiness for a delicate high-tech procedure using a gadget just back from frontline Afghanistan Hamish what is that extraordinary machine hi there this is one of your x-ray machines one of the exact same ones that we use in Afghanistan at the moment in Camp Bastion for and actually in our injured soldiers do you have to get out yeah that's right our safe distance is you need to be named feet away guys okay okay x-rays and clear I comes out really quickly this is interesting around the sides isn't it yes you can see all the details the construction is copper alloy hoops and vertical strips now you see that split pin there through an ending split the the distance there shows you the thickness of the wood it's this thick and and you know this is so good I'm wondering if you can just see little boss decoration along here the astonishing x-ray detail was confirmed when the vessel was cleaned up this 6th century drinking vessel was made of yew with finely decorated copper alloy hoops it epitomized the anglo-saxons love of drinking and exquisite craftsmanship back in Phil's trench though he's finding his own brand of bling in the shape of you've guessed it more Flint as a pre historian and a flint expert you know this is gold to me Phil's got plenty of evidence of Bronze Age people using Flint tools here but it sheds little light on the story of the Barrow itself what's more there's still no sign of anything Saxon keep smiling Phil we'll be a long afternoon [Music] afternoon day two and the pressures on the time team trench to start coming up with the goods right ready ready one you are at one end of it Phil's commandeered some extra help in his search for something other than Flint and that is probably going to be somewhere near were the edge of the ditches by defining the outer ditch surrounding the Barrow we can work out the size of this monument the ditch is also the most likely place to find anglo-saxon graves helping in Phil's trench a rifleman Nick Brown and Jake Watts go behind the laughter lied dark battle scars in Afghanistan Nick was shot in the leg it's wage never actually ever think it's gonna happen to you I don't know it's everything absolutely everything we got ambushed while I was unaccompanied up and the first initial burst took out my femur this shot shot it into a lot of pieces Jake was involved in four separate explosions that was possibly one of the worst days of I've had are pretty bad in trees my upper right leg lower back and I'm completely definitely sit and half there my left yeah so I'm quite lucky back in Britain both found it hard to adjust to everyday life I had a feeling in my head that I'd let everyone down good I know it was nothing I know there was nothing I could have done to change what none that they needed a crave solitude because I didn't want to I didn't want to feel like I was enjoying myself I spent my New Year the stroke of midnight something my sofa pillows on me is cry my eyes out archaeology became a means of turning things around this isn't this of this sighs amazing verb I've uncovered one skeleton or a dad this project helped me just help me reestablish muscles because I was working with other injured personnel I could connect with him on a different or a different basis also I couldn't with my civilian friends right that large once we got all that done it's just it's good too it's got to be with them and I just just chat about anything there what injuries you've been through and how you are you've coped and what's helped you and what still makes you cut the pumps and stuff that [Music] now I'm enjoying think I'm enjoying life again what can I ask for here we go it's brilliant it's a great place in the huge time team trench it's all hands on deck has everybody got a trowel you haven't got a towel you can have this alright raksha's digging what would have been the center of the Barrow it's the classic spot Bronze Age people would bury their dead and there's nothing like some military muscle to make the earth move don't be too shy because it's only soil very good you're doing a grand job there this archaeological arm is doing an equally grand job in the Saxon section of the site and continuing to lift stunning artifacts so if we put this here Mike it's right yep ready off we go really I see pleased with that then yeah will happen when it's get out for a long time now but there's more to this boss than meets the eye oh look fabulous listen I don't know what that is I don't know at all that's not that's not right you know the shield Faust line should come down there we have to go and look at that is it necessarily part of it could it be something else well it could be um diamond-shaped mount which can be used as a decorative mount on straps this discovery implies the shield was more for display than defense in fact most of the weapons here are in pretty good nick with little sign of where it suggests these men hadn't seen extensive battle action but in death wanted to look the part they embraced the image of the mighty heroic warrior and dressed accordingly after one and a half days and a rotation of soldiers fills trench has finally solved one of Barrow clumps Bronze Age mysteries the size and scale of the barrows out a ditch thought you guys have planned a few a stirred a veneer we don't very very well actually great bunch of lots to work with it has done a really really good job where is the ditch the ditch while we've got one edge coming round there yeah and we've got the other edge coming around here yeah so it is sweeping around a big curve right around the monuments but you think the entire circumference of the ditch was dug by people using no more than antler picks retained a month is an incredible piece of engineering now we've confirmed the ditch on this side we can work out its dimensions around the whole Barrow it's colossal a ninety five meter circle and a real beacon in the landscape well that's not all considering that this is only a very small area we've got one two three four five six shares of pottery and they bronzo pretty much likely yes and I think what's happening is that there may well have been a Bronze Age cremation burial maybe further up the slope and that over the time the the Barrow got degraded and stuff washed down and we find it down here in the early Bronze Age many Barrow monuments started with a burial within a small ring ditch this marked the very center of the huge mound then built on top and it's exactly where rat chars excavating you've got some multi colors coming up here we actually have proper archeology in here we've got what we think is a possible cut coming through here we don't know whether it's a barrier or not because here we have a lovely piece of vertebra very nice and where Phil's working just here you can see this this dark patch there we actually think that's a cremation so this could actually be our first glimpse of prehistoric burials if Raksha is onto burials they could be the earliest found here but as ever she needs to dig deeper to prove it [Music] so as end-of-day looms the time team trench is coming up trumps after all what's more we're now confident there are no anglo-saxons whatsoever in this side of the mound but why Helen and time team surveyor Emma would have been piecing together a picture of the ancient landscape in search of clues and I've also done what's called a view shed analysis so I've taken our Berra and said what can you see from the surrounding areas and all these yellow bits of what we can see a lot a lot of landscape that's absolutely perfect for ancient burial mound to be reused by the early anglo-saxons because what they wanted was a place that would make them feel like they had a commanding view and also that was visible from miles around to kind of stake their claim to the land but what would be really interesting to find out is if we assume our very population come from a single community it's one village burying in one very early on we ought to be looking down the valley for perhaps something with an anglo-saxon race name there we go fabulous so file theme for example is very visible and that's a good old english good anglo-saxon place name would definitely be able to see file dean from yes that's one of the best places isn't it the area containing all the burials directly overlooks file team so if this cemetery is that of the anglo-saxon community of file Dean it explains why there are no graves in Phil's trench you can't see that side of the Barrow from the valley we can now call off the search for anglo-saxon burials in Phil's trench tomorrow we'll be focusing all our efforts on telling the whole 2,500 year history of barrow clump from its Bronze Age Origins to its anglo-saxon end [Music] beginning of our final day of second month with operation Nightingale where we're working with the British Army to excavate an anglo-saxon cemetery on Salisbury Plain and it's safe to say the presence of Phil Harding is really inspiring the soldiers could almost be my brother what do they say about imitation and flattery elsewhere works well underway fines are being x-rayed you can really see the splits in the socket can't you it's a very characteristic anglo-saxon thing good ensuite help okay bones lifted meanwhile Phil's received orders from Richard to excavate a difficult burials and we've just found one right in the edge of this trench yeah we need to get that out um these depressions here did they have skeletons in them which have now been lifted that's right they've been excavated you'll see they're quite small yeah this was a babies burial yeah think that was a barrel of someone about seven years old now is this one going to be another young person it's an intriguing question do you think this might be an area that was set aside for the varial of attention this is an area where young people were put into the burial mound it would be fascinating to find out before Phil can tackle any phones there's over a meter of topsoil to remove luckily we're not short of volunteers used to digging homes Operation Nightingale has been a lifesaver and life changer for the soldiers involved whether staying in the forces are moving on archaeology has rebuilt their lives adopt Nightingale will continue to help more soldiers with further digs planned for the future I definitely found myself again when I was first picked up my child it's a life-changing experience but it creates beena in some respects the changes are better for me really it's something awful directions are never envisioned myself going in be able to walk into a museum of you finish a fountain is will be an amazing sight for me I've just started at your University as well so studying what archaeology of course Rachel's still beavering away at the top end of the time team trench at the very focal point of the Barrow its Center they're onto what might be a Bronze Age cremation it could be the earliest burial on site this one sounds Hollow well that's good you want to dig there they're not the only ones tuned in to the sound of archaeology listen it seemed very very Hollow well yes and now we've been able to work around here and we've got another piece of bone here which is the top of the the upper arm so we're beginning to get an idea of how this body is placed in the grave we know we've got the head here we've got one arm here so the other one is going to be down here maybe the hands together here over the pelvis and then the leg stretching on down that way if it's that big then presumably that means it's not a child oh I'm fairly sure this is a this is an adult but I think they're the really really interesting thing about this bear is the way that's been put in here the care and attention actual burial right you can actually see in the outline of this brown material where the line of the body is and you can see that we've got this chalk packing it's almost as though there's some organic structure maybe wooden plank in some sort of chamber into which this body was placed before all this chalk was actually packed around it already Phil's making key discoveries first of all this burials an adult so this can't be an area reserved for children I reckon we could be there's the other one and absolutely bang on target look there's the arm there's the pack in yep there's definitely something hold it that chalk back it's clear this person was buried in some kind of coffin or chamber unique so far on this site and a sign of someone's importance as more of the skeleton emerges Phil can hardly contain himself [Music] this tiny glass bead tells us this burial is female and the bones that she's a young woman fills is the seventh burial unearthed in the past three days bringing the total number of skeletons here to 35 unlike many other anglo-saxon cemeteries Barrow clump seems a haphazard affair men women and children like cheek-by-jowl some with weapons some with grave Goods and some with nothing but if anyone can find a pattern Helen can so what we can see is along the ditch we've got a line of three ladies here and then we've got what some people have called the shield wall we've got one two three four all with shield bosses and then it's been pointed out as well that we've got this odd group here which is towards the center of the Barrow but has no grave cos now why do people who aren't rich enough to afford grave Goods get buried in the better position towards the center of the Barrow have you gotten the idea well I think we may be just beginning yes a tiny tiny clue it's a very small spearhead it's one of the smallest sphere as you can get but the x-ray shows us it's got curved edges which allows me to give it a type it's known as a type c1 and these are very much more common in the 7th century so that's a hundred years later than all the rest of the grave goods now that's a time when people who've got access to great wealth choose to be varied sometimes without all their families choose to bury them without grave goods between prestigious places like the middle of Pharaohs now maybe these aren't poor people maybe they're people who are just a bit later and that's why they haven't got grave goods why didn't the earlier high status people get themselves buried in the more status part of the cemetery well it's a good point and I do wonder whether they're simply burying in the ditch because it's easy in a sense it's easy to dig graves this chalk must be back-breaking stuff to dig a grave into and that's why they're going for this softer ring this theory is a significant breakthrough during the sixth century it seems practicality outweighed prestige the dead were buried where it was easiest to dig but this cemetery was in use longer than previously thought later anglo-saxons were buried nearer the centre by this time style of dress was changing and they were converting to Christianity which meant simpler graves with few or no artifacts but what about the Bronze Age origins of this Barrow at her trench rat Shah thinks she's cracked it there's no cremation burial just some fragments of bone what she's got is part of a small circular ditch originally we thought that we might have a grave cut but what we realize is we were actually digging into the top of the fill of the ditch then we eventually found the sides and look at it it's just it's beautiful fantastic so that's actually probably the first burial phase of the big monument here then this ring ditch dug before the mound was put up would have marked the first prehistoric burial on this site and we've only just found this lovely piece of prehistoric pottery yeah it looked bronze AG ish doesn't it yeah it does it looks Bronze Age oh the pottery dates the burial to around 2100 BC around the same time the big stones went up at nearby Stonehenge from humble beginnings our trenches answered all of Richard's questions started with a burial marked by a ring ditch over that the Barrow Mound was built and we found the monster of a ditch that surrounded it and our trench confirmed that no anglo-saxons were buried on the northern side of the monument got metal object but on the other side of the Barrow Phil's grave is turning out to be a cut above the rest that looks like a brooch or summat up there in it oh that's nice innit yeah that is no Sh that's the most amazing brooch that's technically a small Squarehead approach for what it is if it's condensed all that amazing artwork into something that big that is absolutely the most miny square-headed brooch I've ever seen in my life well you ash more I'm looking that trailer I've been looking that little tiny plastic bag no not that one the other one the other no it's not empty it was that that's extraordinary so you've got dolls house square-headed brooch dolls house beads it's just gobsmacking though right there it is put an incredible barrel on it this is sensational it's not often in archaeology you hear the word sensational bandied about but it's pretty apt for this grave tiny beads were a first for this site the brooch a beautiful example of Saxon wealth after we left the soldiers carried on for another week and unearthed a cosmetic brush more brooches a silver and bronze ring and dozens more beads [Music] this being time team just as we're finishing the rain is tipping down but we don't care who we they said bravely because this has got to be one of the most fantastic sites that any of us have ever seen for for many years Phil you've had a great time today yeah today has just been one of those great days in archaeology when you start opening a grave and you don't know what's in it and then you find just finds that are well not only unexpected virtually unique are superb you've answered a lot of the questions we wanted to know about the site and also frustr the share operation night and go with you as an experience well thank you very much all of you it's been been a real privilege thanks a lot and that's about it except for the play out and who could play us out more appropriately than the Bugler's of the rifles take it away lads [Music]
