Dig Into History with Time Team Documentaries: Available Now


Three Time Team documentaries now available on DVD!  For those Anglophiles out there (like me), you may have already come across the Time Team series while perusing Acorn or BritBox streaming channels.  This long-lived British documentary television series aired from 1994 to 2014.   




Each episode features a team of professional archaeologists carrying out digs over a period of three days, with British actor and presenter Tony Robinson explaining the process in layman’s terms along the way.  The sites excavated ranged in date from the Paleolithic to the Second World War.  What I enjoy about this series is the first-hand detail you get about how professional digs are handled – from the latest radar technology to the excavation of test strips of land to determine if “treasure” might be found.  Everything from the walls, streets, and structures of buried Roman cities beneath British soil, to weapons, pottery, and jewelry – not to mention the occasional “hoard” of gold and silver coins!   A Bonus:  Time Team America” – The Brits cross the pond to investigate and uncover some of America’s historical locations and treasures!
