Podcasts about digging for history

Following the completion of the five-year long Tintagel Castle Archaeological Research Project, we are joined by properties curator Win Scutt and archaeologist Jaqueline Nowakowski to find out about the project and what it has revealed about Tintagel's early medieval history. Discover why English Heritage decided to launch the project, what has happened over the last five years, the structures and key artefacts that have been discovered, and the analytical work that has happened since.
