TIME TEAM SPECIAL EDITION
THURSDAY, MARCH 21 @ MIDNIGHT
In Time Team: Special Edition, the United Kingdom’s groundbreaking archaeology series takes viewers on an expedition to Jamestown, Virginia, where a British company’s commercial enterprise planted the seeds of the United States. There have been nearly a million finds from the site’s trenches, but this anniversary special is far more than just an excavation. The team retrieves piles of perfectly preserved 17th-century pieces, traces the names and life stories of the early American pioneers, and learns why a third of them died within months of arrival. The colonists at Jamestown went looking for gold and silver. Instead, they found fertile soil, tough conditions and the beginnings of the world’s most powerful nation.
