There’s a BBC show on private owners redoing old homes of very varied ages, that’s pretty neat for a while, and though not archaeology, some of these homes tend to be pretty old in spots. “Your proposed garage turns out to be the former kitchen of the Tudor structure, the rest of the house is 17th or early 18th century.” That kind of thing. But it’s just a distinction more than a difference over the home-redo shows we have here in America.
