Enquêtes dans le passé

À Ipswich en Angleterre, un squelette d'un Africain est découvert.

En 1992, le Musée de Londres retrouvait un squelette présentant de profondes cicatrices. L'équipe d'experts va tenter de comprendre qui était cette personne et de quoi elle est morte.

For decades experts have remained baffled by a jumble of human bones discovered in a unique series of caves on the North York Moors; one discovery in particular stands out - a tangle of bones that might belong to a family from two thousand years ago.

In 2008, construction workers just beyond York's city walls uncovered 113 bodies in a mass grave; the team spots an incredibly rare genetic peculiarity in two of the skeletons and wonders whether they have stumbled on a pair of brothers.

The remains of 17 people are discovered in a dry well shaft in the village of Norwich, England; thought to date from the early 1200s, this becomes a case of suspected medieval murder, but the identity of the dead is the biggest shock of all.

In the town of Baldock in Hertfordshire, the team investigates the discovery of a skeleton dating from around 100 A.D.; it is buried in a bizarre position, along with the remains of three babies.
