<i>Time Team</i> British television series

Time Team is a British television programme that originally aired on Channel 4 from 16 January 1994 to 7 September 2014.

The specialists changed throughout the programme's run, although it consistently included professional archaeologists such as Mick Aston, Carenza Lewis, Francis Pryor and Phil Harding. The sites excavated ranged in date from the Palaeolithic to the Second World War.
