Roman Bath Secrets Unearthed - Lost Roads, Burials and Surprising Finds

Discover the secrets beneath Bath’s Royal Crescent as Time Team hunts for lost Roman roads, mysterious burials, and ancient buildings in this high-stakes archaeological dig! Join the Time Team as they tackle a Roman mystery at the heart of Bath, where scorch marks, ancient sarcophagi, and puzzling discoveries spark a thrilling quest. In just three days, the team investigates rumors of a Roman cemetery, uncovers evidence of a substantial Roman road (possibly the elusive Fosse Way), and unearths both Roman and prehistoric finds. With every trench, they challenge old assumptions - is this land a burial ground for the elite, a bustling suburb, or something even more surprising? Watch as unexpected discoveries and setbacks test the team’s resolve: from uncovering Victorian church rubble to braving relentless rain and slippery mud. See how cutting-edge geophysics, historic maps, and hands-on digging reveal the hidden layers of Bath’s past. The team pieces together the relationship between domestic Roman life, burial practices, and the city’s changing landscape. Will they confirm the route of the Fosse Way or identify new areas of Roman occupation? Whether it’s finding a Roman wall never seen before or stumbling upon Bronze Age artifacts, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of urban archaeology. #Archaeology #TimeTeam #RomanBath #FosseWay #RoyalCrescent #HistoryDocumentary #RomanRoads #AncientBritain
