    Professor Alice Roberts and archaeologist Matt Williams present 2014's most outstanding archaeology.

    In the summer, archaeologists have been unearthing our history in hundreds of digs across Britain. They have gone to extraordinary lengths to uncover long lost treasures - retelling our story in a way only archaeology can.

    With unique access to some of the country's best digs, our teams have been self-shooting their excavations to make sure the audience is there for every moment of discovery.

    In this episode, we're in the east of Britain, and the archaeologists join us back in the Norwich Castle Museum to look at the new finds and what they mean. Sites include:

    Must Farm: The Cambridgeshire site is called the Pompeii of the Bronze Age and gives an unparalleled glimpse of life 3,000 years ago.

    Colchester: Roman treasure hidden as Queen Boudicca rampaged through the town.

    Oakington: Burial rituals revealing the secrets of Anglo-Saxon childbirth.

    Lyminge: Investigating a mysterious Anglo-Saxon royal hall.

    Basing House: Examining the final days of this 16th-century Tudor complex.

    Silchester: Important Roman finds from the longest-running archaeological dig in the country tell of the Emperor Nero's personal involvement.
