Exercise Shallow Grave
b'
Mary-Ann Ochota joins Archaeologist of the Year, Richard Osgood and his team of veterans and local archaeologists as they unearth Saxon artefacts and develop life changing skills.
An idyllic site in Gloucestershire has yielded some important 6th Century artifacts and is vulnerable both to ploughing and \\u2018night hawking\\u2019. But what\\u2019s going on above ground is just as valuable as what lies beneath it.
Lead by former Marine Dickie Bennet, \\u2018Breaking Ground Heritage (BGH)\\u2019 uses archaeology and heritage to develop projects that encourage physical and psychological well-being amongst former members of the armed forces. Working alongside trained archaeologists, participants bring their skills of attention to detail and resilience whilst also building their own recovery pathways, empowering them to regain control of their lives.
