Series Summary
Returning for a third series, the Time Team embark on six new archaeological adventures. They go in search of the secrets of a Venetian ship-wreck, a mammoths' graveyard and the fighting monks of Christianity.
With just three days at each site, to help them battle against the clock the team have the most advanced technical equipment available to the modern archaeologist at their disposal - computerised reconstruction, ground radar, and geophysical and helicopter surveying equipment. And the most basic methods of archaeology, digging and field walking, still prove to be vital in their process of discovery.
