Geoff: I would LOVE to see how the Germans deal with "archaeobiogeochemistry" OR the study of human behaviours left in the chemical residues of plants that absorb the chemical signatures of the human activities. I have heard from a German Mining Engineer friend that TERRA-X is really well done.

A good mix of documentary, CSI and Spielberg. Can't tell, offhand, if it's been dubbed into English or not.
