Can Archaeologists Solve This 400-Year-Old Village Feud? | Time Team | Chronicle

Tony and the team descend on the sleepy village of Wicken on the edge of the New Town to unravel its complex history and adjudicate in a fiercely fought local contest. Although in theory, it's one village now, Wicken was formed when two villages merged over 400 years ago. It looks like there's a clear dividing line and the residents have asked the team to discover which is the older of the two.

    Dude. Plz tell me I’m wrong. Scroll through the 1st comments here & you’ll see one complaining about the “actors” hygiene. Dirty nails in fact. On a series about archeological dig sites. Open jaw moment.

    Summary Archaeologists are investigating the origins of two medieval villages in Wiccan, Northamptonshire. They are searching for evidence of the two villages and their churches, as well as determining which village was established first. The team is using test pits and geophysical surveys to uncover Saxon pottery and locate the missing church. They have found evidence of medieval pottery and other artifacts, but no structures yet.

    It's Wickham, not Wiccan. Don't trust the closed captions for correct spellings of place names as they are notorious for being grossly incorrect.
