In each episode we follow a different team of archaeologists on their quest to find out exactly how and why the victim met their death.
  EPISODES

SEVERED SKULL
Twenty decapitated skeletons have been unearthed in the UK. A solitary skull is discovered at Vindolanda in England. Is there a connection between the two finds?

BATTLEFIELD OF BONES
Outside a small village in northern France, a routine archaeological dig unearths thousands of human bones. Most shocking of all is that there are no skulls.

BOG BODIES
Tollund Man is perhaps the world’s most famous bog body. Recovered from the eerie boglands of Northern Europe, his mummified remains date back more than 2,500 years.

CHILD MUMMIES
8,000 years ago in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile many tiny children, babies and even fetuses were painstakingly mummified after death by their people.

VAMPIRE GRAVES
Excavations of an abandoned cemetery uncover a grave dating from the 1800s in which the bones had been rearranged in the pattern of the ‘skull and cross bones.’

PLAGUE MUMMIES
Nearly two hundred perfectly preserved mummies have been found in a church crypt in the Hungarian town of Vac.
