Once again, greed works its way into the plot. The episode begins with two men robbing a grave. An elderly lady fires at them with a shotgun and they drop their quarry. We are also introduced to a mentally handicapped, middle aged woman and her rich landowner father. It turns out that there is a story going back many years and the discovery of that is blocked at every turn. I have to say that if the bad guys had been a little less obvious, they may have done better.

The crime must have taken place in a remote spot. Wycliffe arrives in style, in a helicopter.
A dead body is found in an archaeological site and it was placed there in the 1960s.
A couple of locals behave in a shifty manner.
An aristocrat called Gilbert Rawle is very good at remembering names and faces. He just cannot recall a black US serviceman who might have had a dalliance with his daughter in the 1960s.
Wycliffe tackles racism in the community that spans a generation.
A much better episode where the police do some detecting and not rely on a confession at the end. Still it was handy that there were those shifty locals about.
