Chronicle (1966)

Chronicle tells of the events in Spain in the war against Napoleon - a war that gave us the word 'guerrilla' and the works of the artist Goya.

Chronicle reports on the controversy surrounding the bones found in Piltdown, Sussex some 70 years ago that some claimed were the "missing link" between man and ape.

This month Chronicle, introduced by Kenneth Hudson, shows the contrast between urban and rural archaeology. At Stone Age Skara Brae and Roman Vindolanda, where the finds are of whalebone tools and Roman writing tablets, the pressures and problems are not created by developers wanting the land. At Dunwich the threat is from the sea. But in Bath, Lincoln and London it's not only archaeology but the whole fabric of our historic cities which is being destroyed.
