  • Time Team archaeologists have dug up the best preserved medieval village in Britain. The distinctive grass-covered remains of the deserted medieval village of Ulnaby are a landmark in the Durham countryside, and although they've been photographed, surveyed, and written about, they've never been dug. What can Ulnaby and other lost villages like it tell us about normal life in Medieval Britain?

      If you're interested, AL has the Moundville site. It was established in 1000 I think. It was the biggest city north of Mexico for a while there too. I think it was the site of one of the most powerful cities in what would become the US! I've wanted to visit but haven't made it that far yet. 🙂
