- From PBS - In 1586 the English sent the first group of hopeful colonists to the New World. When ships returned three years later, the settlement was empty and colonists gone. The only clue was the word Croatoan carved in the gatepost of their fort. Our team spends three days at Fort Raleigh in hot pursuit of archaeological evidence that will put the ghost of Roanoke to rest and establish where the first colony in America was actually located.
- From PBS - The picturesque and remote canyons of southern Utah contain what remains of the Fremont Indians who lived there 1,000 years ago. The Fremonts stashed their food in clay granaries high on the cliffs, and entered their underground homes through a hole in the ceiling. They decorated rock walls with petroglyphs that remain a mystery to this day. Our team learns what life was like in these canyons a thousand years ago.
- From PBS - Our team wades into the swamps of South Carolina to further our understanding of North America's first human inhabitants. Debate continues in the scientific community about when people first came to the American continent. The team has just three days to search out evidence that could shed light on the controversy. What they find could rock the archaeological world.
- At Badger Hole, Oklahoma, the Time Team America crew excavates what may be the largest Folsom-period bison kill site in North America. Long extinct, Bison Antiquus roamed the plains 10,000 years ago. How were Paleoindian hunters able to kill so many of these massive bison-weighing 1500 pounds each-without the help of bows and arrows or even horses? The lives of these ancient ancestors seem elusive, but by investigating bison bones, arrowheads and more, the Team discovers clues about their habitat, hunting range, and their ingenuity that will help us understand them.
- In Cortez, Colorado, the Team explores the Dillard site, a village that some 1500 years ago was home to people of the Basketmaker III era, a culture that advanced itself with technologies like farming, pottery, and the bow and arrow. The innovations of the Basketmaker III era led to the complex, beautiful Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings of the nearby Mesa Verde region. Recent discoveries at the Dillard site-located at Crow Canyon Archaeological Center-lead researchers to ask: was this site more than just a village? Was this concentrated settlement the scene of a turning point in human history? Time Team America hopes to help solve the mystery.
- In the fall of 1864 the Confederate Army marched Union prisoners into a hastily built compound called Camp Lawton in Jenkins County, Georgia. The population mushroomed to more than 10,000 in just six weeks. Then, as Sherman's army approached, guards and prisoners alike were forced to flee. Abandoned, the camp disappeared into the forest and remained undisturbed for over a century, until a team from Georgia Southern University surveyed the site. They found what appeared to be on wall from the camp stockade wall, Civil War era coins, a daguerreotype, and more. The rest of the story was waiting to be uncovered. Time Team America joined the effort to map the entire stockade and learn more about this important moment in the nation's history.
