Time Team America is an American television series that airs on PBS.
It is an Oregon Public Broadcasting adaptation of the British show Time Team, produced in collaboration with Channel 4, which commissioned the original show,[1] in which a team of archeologists and other experts are given 72 hours to excavate an historic site.
[2] The U.S. version features "freelance and university-affiliated experts [who] mostly join existing excavations ... [and] arrive with resources that the archaeologists already on the case usually can’t afford and specific questions that, if answered, will advance the understanding of the site.
[6] When PBS introduced a video player on its website in mid-April 2009, an episode of Time Team America became the most viewed.
A Newsday reviewer wrote All five episodes of the first season have been released on separate DVDs.
