About Time Team

Time Team was an archaeology series on television in which each week the team would investigate/excavate a different historical site in three days. The series ran for twenty years and sparked a huge interest in archaeology. The programme itself has been exported to 35 countries, has been crowdfunded, and has now been rebooted due to popular demand. Two new episodes were filmed in 2021 (and shown in 2022). Plans are underway for future episodes.

This England Project Topic lists all the episodes which were linked in some way to antiquarians, archaeologists, designers, and historical figures.
