The Race to Save The Remains Of A 2000-Year-Old Gallic Port

This documentary explores the urgent salvage excavations at Urville-Nacqueville on the Normandy coast, where rising sea levels are revealing—and destroying—a 2,000-year-old Gallic port. Archaeologists have uncovered a unique community where British and Continental Celtic cultures merged, featuring rare circular roundhouses, high-status "aristocratic" burials, and evidence of a bustling cross-channel trade network. From perfectly preserved wooden coffins to DNA evidence revealing a mobile, diverse population, the site offers a final, fleeting look at a prehistoric "trading hub" before it is lost to the English Channel forever.
