BMX Archaeology

The BMX Archaeology site visits and interviews with local volunteers in northeast England's town of South Shields is proof that archaeology is not merely about excavating and studying the more distant past, but also a very recent past. South Shields had a BMX biking track in the 1980s, but the track had since fallen into disrepair. Now a group of local volunteers are working on its restoration, after many years of neglect, and Marc and co. are there to have a look at the process of recovering a site from very recent history.
