Idea for a TV series?
A man is sent to act as an deputy overseer on a dig on a Tell in the Near East (a tell is a mound caused by thousands of years of human habitation on the same spot). Technically he is the nightwatchman but he is also there to watch on the foreign archaeologists, one of whom is suspected to be a spy. However he discovers that at night the ghosts of the Tell come to visit him: Babylonians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Macedonians, Parthians, Romans, people from all periods of ancient history. These unquiet spirits have unsolved problems that the deputy must work with the archaeologists to solve through the evidence they find.
