Time Team, season 10 episode 1 «Garden Secrets - Raunds, Northamptonshire»: air date January 5, 2003. Episode overview, season trailer and the cast of Time Team.

Time Team investigates a back garden in Raunds, where a skeleton – aptly named "Henry" by his discoverer – has been found along with his Anglo-Saxon grave goods. The burial probably fits in with a number of other Saxon sites in the town and is seen in light of these. The team also look carefully at Henry himself, his attributes, anatomy and ailments, and have to tackle several logistical problems in association with excavating in such a constrained area as a garden. However, they also find the opportunity to extend the investigation across the fence to an allotment area behind the gardens. The experimental part of the program looks at various objects and medical remedies found in Anglo-Saxon society, presented by historical reenactors, while Victor recreates the appearance of Henry. In the end the archaeologists do confirm the presence of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery with various pieces of grave goods at the site, probably placed in relation to older Bronze Age burial mounds. Archaeological or historical period(s): Anglo-Saxon.
