This was reported last September. Glad to see the Beeb has caught up. It's what we pay our license fee for after all.

I suppose it takes a while for the archaeos to scrape the muck off and get the Duraglit onto the finds. And to work out what is a sword and what is a spearhead etc. etc.

The hall does sound intriguing.
