Page "Time Team" Paragraph 1

A team of archaeologists, usually led by either Mick Aston or Francis Pryor ( the latter usually heads Bronze Age and Iron Age digs ), and including field archaeologist Phil Harding, congregate at a site, usually in the United Kingdom.

The site is frequently suggested by a member of the viewing public who knows of an unsolved archaeological mystery, or who owns property that has not been excavated and is potentially interesting.

Time Team uncover as much as they can about the archaeology and history of the site in three days, often in conjunction with the local archaeological unit.
