| Time team is brilliant.
|
| To me its an ocean of calm. No conflict, a bit of tongue in
| cheek, just fun.
|
| It also introduced me to 3d design. (I downloaded blender in 1999
| or there abouts). long story short, I ended up in the VFX
| industry.
|
| I have recently joined a local archaeology group, so I've come
| round full circle.

| Remarkable series. US folks can get most of episodes on Amazon

| The 3-day time limit makes the show seem like an archaeology
| equivalent of a hackathon. Glad to read in the posted article
| that only 5 of the excavated sites remain unpublished (due to
| much offscreen work and monies extending past the 3-day horizon)

| It was a truly great program. I remember the initial

| A lot of great science and archaeology was done or caused by TT.
| Read some of the comments in the article - a lot of people loved
| it and many are asking for advice on how to do a similar job
| around the world.
