Unearthing her story: The rise of women archaeologists

In a show to kick off a new season, we explore the rise of women archaeologists – and how they are helping to transform our understanding of ancient societies. In the last 30 years, women have come to make up more than half of the profession. At the same time, advances in technology – from DNA analysis to carbon dating – are allowing archaeologists to build a far more accurate picture of the past. And sometimes, that means questioning assumptions that have existed for generations.
