While filming our first season, Time Team America visited sites that ranged from 13,000 year old chert quarries to a late 19th century U.S. Army fortress. Good thing we had team that could handle any challenge. Our Time Team America archaeologists represent decades of experience working on sites all over the world. Each brings a unique set of skills and experience to the Team. They all share a belief in the importance of exploring our past and a desire to show the public how fun and exciting archaeology can be.
