After Time

In 2016, In Our Time asked what really collapsed at the end of the Late Bronze Age. After Time returns with a decade of sharper archaeology, climate evidence, network modelling and ancient DNA. The destructions are less simultaneous, drought is less uniform, migration is more local, and the old image of one civilisation-ending wave has become much harder to sustain.
