Yes, it drew together the work of dedicated archaeologists over the past decade. I thought it was very good too and will watch it again soon as have recorded it.
I do also recommend Bettany Hughes's three part series which tonight was about Confucius. I enjoyed watching Bettany appear to effortlessly pursue her own scholarly yet accessible style of presentation. Apparently Confucius had little time for women.
Edited.
