collection of archaeology programmes from the 1950s to the 1970s. Available

About Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Four Collection programmes
Programmes are selected, in part, for their historical
context and reflect the broadcast standards and attitudes of their time, which
may not accord to some current Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ editorial guidelines. We aim to select
programmes which can be shown in their entirety but in some cases edits are
required.
