Most of us can name at least a few of the major events, places and people in British history. But the details are often more confusing. Did the Saxons come before or after the Romans? Did King Arthur really exist? When did Charles I lose his head or Wellington defeat Napoleon at Waterloo? In "The Ultimate Time Team Companion" Tim Taylor draws on the expertise of the Time Team contributors to answer all your questions about the programme, including a guide to all 50 excavation sites illustrating our British history from the dawn of time to the modern age. It also follows the team in five photo stories as they explore Cirencester, northern France, Basing House, Flag Fen and Elveden in Suffolk.

Tim Taylor is the series producer on Time Team and author of the Behind the Scenes at Time Team Sunday Times bestseller.
