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!
