Every home has a story to tell. Who's lived there? Who's eaten there? Who's slept there? And with whom?

Archaeologist Adam Ford is on the job. Using the tools of his trade  public records and a good spade  he literally digs the dirt and reveals the rich past of some of Australia's most intriguing homes.

It's amazing the history one house can hold  stories of fortunes made, young lives lost, heroes and criminals, lovers and adulterers. Each home is an archaeological time capsule, ready to be unlocked.
