Time Team: The Team's Favorite Digs

Proving again that archeological science is FUN
Each of this TIME TEAM digs are a great adventure for even the novice archeologist. I've never viewed a disappointing Time Team show. Educational? Yes, with a team lead by fast-paced and funny Tony Robinson, science is fun. Experts keep the show hopping. Use of geophysics, back hoes, trowel & brush, and even machetes in one location. Fantastic artist renderings help the uneducated-but-interested visualize what the experts see in stones, shards, and coins. The bonus stuff makes this set a total of 11 episodes. More bonus in a viewer's guide. A documentary with the look of prime-time TV.

SUBTITLES provided for each 3-day episode dig.
1- - -Llygadwy, Wales
A roman rich valley with medieval artifacts. Is it a tomb? A hold place? Norman tower? Lots of artifacts from many time periods cause questions of how they got into the site.
2- - -Gatcholm
Welsh coastal island is a challenge for the team to first set foot on. Roman Viking and Celtic are all...

Fun Look at Archeology
I've always been fascinated by archeological digs. There is something about touching the past that has always enthralled me. In Time Team, you get to follow leading archeologist, Tony Robinson, as he explores some of his favorite dig sites. The team goes around the world unearthing lost treasure from roman antiquities in Wales to a possible slave quarters in the West Indies. There are always challenges to overcome. Sometimes jungles have overgrown the area they want to search and they always have to deal with whatever mother nature throws at them on their time pressed schedules. The show never gets overly technical, making every discovery easy for the average person to understand, but still offering an exciting new educational look into the past and the process of a dig. I enjoyed watching this series along with my older children. They had no trouble following and it made for an educational family movie night.
