Vanished Settlement: Uncovering The Secrets Of The ‘Harrying Of The North’

Travels to Skipsea in East Yorkshire to investigate an archaeological "blank sheet" that spans 6,000 years of human history. Following a local landowner’s discovery of Neolithic flint axes and medieval pottery, our experts utilize advanced geophysics to reveal a massive, previously unknown settlement. From the footprints of the first Stone Age farmers to the devastating aftermath of William the Conqueror’s "Harrying of the North," we uncover rare lead artifacts, ancient mud-walled houses, and the secrets of a community struggling against a rapidly eroding coastline. Odyssey is your journey into the world of Ancient History; from the dawn of Mesopotamia to the fall of Rome. We'll be bringing you only the best documentaries that journey into the mysteries and ruins of worlds long lost.
