Attenborough and the Mammoth Graveyard

BBC One, 8pm

David Attenborough joins an archaeological dig uncovering Britain’s biggest mammoth discovery in almost 20 years. In 2017, in a gravel quarry near Swindon, two amateur fossil hunters found an extraordinary cache of Ice Age mammoth remains and a stone hand-axe made by a Neanderthal. This programme looks at why the mammoths were here and how they died. Could the Neanderthals have killed these Ice Age giants?

David Attenborough focuses on an incredible find made four years ago by amateur palaeontologists Sally and Neville Hollingworth while walking around a freshly dug gravel pit near Swindon. They spotted the huge fossilised leg of a mammoth, which turned out to be just one of many. They also unearthed a stone axe, which offers an insight into life in the Ice Ages.
