C 14

The ZDF documentary "C14" reports on exciting archaeological excavations and research in Germany.

In three to five individual contributions for each follow different places are visited, where the scientists are in the process of deciphering new-found messages from the past with modern methods. The title - C 14 - comes from nuclear physics. With the C14 method, organic materials are backdated up to 50 000 years.
