Here, in this beautifully illustrated and impeccably researched book, Tim Taylor and the experts behind Channel 4s much-loved Time Team select Britain and Irelands most interesting archaeological sites and use their specialist knowledge to reveal the people behind the monuments their ways of life, their religious beliefs and their impressive skills, strength, technology and ingenuity.
