The collaboration between the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, @mediabmth, and Time Team has huge potential for archaeological storytelling and we can't wait to see what happens next.

Also, huge credit to the @mediabmth students who each took a role in the production and were all genuine professionals, even though most were only in their second year of study.
