What is Time Team America?

If you've visited the U.K. in the past fifteen years or so, you may have been shocked at how much the general population knows about the science of archaeology.  Why are the ladies at the tea shop chatting about ground penetrating radar?  You could assume it's because the Brits are just more interested in their history, but we think it's because of a certain very entertaining TV series on Channel 4.

This summer, Time Team is launching an invasion onto (actually under) American soil.  We've found the smartest, most adventurous archaeologists in the U.S. and sent them out to five of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the lower forty-eight.  Just like the Brits, we gave them three days at each location to map it out, dig it up, get dirty, and show us what we've got on this side of the pond.  

What did they find?  Wild West relics, 1,000 year old native villages, stories of freed slaves, Paleo-Indian tools, and maybe even the lost colony at Roanoke.  It was an unbelievable summer.  We can't wait to share it with you.

Stay tuned for all the dirt!  And tell your friends, Time Team is coming to America.
