Tonight Julian goes back to the excavation of two very different Iron Age woman - the possible sacrifice of a teenage girl from the Cotswold's, and the extraordinary Chariot Queen whose well preserved possessions are leading to some astonishing new conclusions about Iron Age belief, all because of a mirror and its otter-fur bag.
