Francis Pryor on the threat facing Flag Fen

Time Team's Francis Pryor discovered Flag Fen, a Bronze Age site of world importance, in 1982. The remarkable preservation of a wooden causeway, over a kilometre long, along with ancient roundhouses, gave us unique insight into how people lived thousands of years ago. Now, decades after Francis' discovery, Flag Fen is under threat and the archaeology is at risk of being lost forever. Time Team takes Francis back to find out what can be done to save this hugely important site.

Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams speak to self-proclaimed 'word nerd' Rob Watts from the etymology YouTube channel RobWords. He explains how studing language can reveal secrets about our past which could shed more light on archaeological discoveries.

Dani Wootton brings you archaeology stories from around the world in Time Team News and Helen will answer more questions from Patreon supporters.
