Time Team (1994)

Episode Overview

The team reaches a field near Cheshire, known for its treasure trove of past discoveries by metal detectorists, suggesting it was once a bustling Roman settlement. However, the absence of any finds raises significant alarm among the group. They team up with Mike Nevell from the University of Manchester, Roman historian David Shotter, and Robert Philpott from Liverpool Museum. Archeometallurgist Andrew Lacey crafts a basic Roman snake bracelet. This episode is famously marked by Tony's candid remark: "We've done what we always threatened: after 160 programmes, we found - nothing."
