Butser Plus goes behind-the-scenes at Butser Ancient Farm, an internationally-renowned experimental archaeology site in the UK. These documentaries cover everything we do at Butser, from building roundhouses and making swords to raising ancient rarebreed animals and chatting with experts in the field.
As a not-for-profit research and educational site, Butser Ancient Farm relies on your support. Our work explores the cutting-edge of experimental archaeology, expands our understanding of the distant past, and passes our passion for archaeology on to the next generation.
