Time Team's Timechester
This book is centred around an innovative idea. It follows the development of the imaginary British town of Timechester from prehistory to the modern age, taking as its inspiration the wide variety of British towns which have hosted Time Team digs. As you turn the pages you will see the town grow and change, yet still with some elements remaining. The Team provide a commentary on the gradual development of the town in their familiar style, along with illustrations by the series' resident artist. Victor Ambrus. As they discover Timechester, the Team also discuss the most commonly used methods of archaeology on Time Team in an attempt to answer the many questions asked of them by viewers. The book provides an accessible introduction to archaeology for all the family and features full-colour photographs, surveys and computer graphics, from all nine series of Time Team.

The Ultimate "Time Team" Companion
Most of us can name at least a few of the major events, places and people in British history. But the details are often more confusing. Did the Saxons come before or after the Romans? Did King Arthur really exist? When did Charles I lose his head or Wellington defeat Napoleon at Waterloo? In "The Ultimate Time Team Companion" Tim Taylor draws on the expertise of the Time Team contributors to answer all your questions about the programme, including a guide to all 50 excavation sites illustrating our British history from the dawn of time to the modern age. It also follows the team in five photo stories as they explore Cirencester, northern France, Basing House, Flag Fen and Elveden in Suffolk.
