: Trial and Error
Is archaeology just so many holes in the ground?One of the archaeologists in tonight's Chronicle admits that it can easily seem like that. But he is one of a growing band that won't leave it there. In a spirit of 'trial and error,' these archaeologists are setting out to rebuild the structures that the 'holes in the ground' suggest.
At Avoncroft in Worcestershire, the subject for reconstruction is a set of Iron Age houses; while at the Lunt Fort near Coventry, a huge Roman granary is going up with the help of a squadron of Royal Engineers.
In the same spirit but a lighter vein, Magnus Magnusson listens in on some experiments with ancient musical instruments to find out what these usually mute objects are capable of once we get them out of their museum cases and give them a try. It's all a long way from 'holes in the ground.'
With Dr John Coles, Peter Reynolds, Brian Hobley

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
