Time Team America is an American television series that airs on PBS. It premiered on July 8, 2009. 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."[3]
A second season was announced on October 18, 2011, scheduled to shoot during the summer of 2012 and to air in 2013.[4][5] On December 20, 2011, PBS announced that Justine Shapiro would host the second season.[6]

A Newsday reviewer wrote
- "Time Team America at moments, employs [an] approach much in favor at PBS, which worries – needlessly, I think – that the only way to make serious subjects appealing to the attention-deficit-disordered youth of our TV nation is to throw in plenty of zing, zest and zip. ... But don't hold any of this against the show, because it's engaging, thoughtful, smart, nicely produced and really, really interesting."[9]
DVD
All five episodes of the first season have been released on separate DVDs.[10]
