Open Country: Landscapes in Lockdown

Series 377, episode 3

With the country in lockdown, archaeologists have had to cancel plans for excavations that would have allowed them to explore the history of the British landscape. Helen Mark finds out how some of them have turned to `virtual archaeology", using new technologies to make discoveries about the past. She also hears about an educational project, set up to help with home-schooling, which is using archaeology as a means to teach other skills - and in the process introducing the subject to a new generation, and perhaps inspiring the archaeologists of the future
