Bones in the Barnyard

Archaeologist Julian Richards visits the village of Bleadon near Weston-Super-Mare, where a property developer purchased a piece of land from a local farmer, but an archaeological survey turned up more than he bargained for. Several crouch burials were revealed which have to be excavated before building can begin. Julian joins a team examining the remains and their modern DNA testing reveals a picture of the arduous life of Iron Age farmers.
