Product Description
Product Description
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.
About the Author
Tim Taylor is the series producer on Time Team and author of the Behind the Scenes at Time Team Sunday Times bestseller. He began his career in teaching, including two years VSO, before setting up Videotext Communications to produce a wide range of programmes not normally covered by mainstream television. Time Team has received two Royal Television Society awards, a Bafta nomination, and the British Archaeological Award for the best archaeological programme in the last twenty-one years.

If you're a fan of 'Time Team' and enjoy the exploits, expertise and eccentricities of Mick, Phil, Tony, Carenza and company, then you really ought to have a copy of this on your bookshelf. Although it doesn't go into as much detail about any particular dig or site as some of the other 'Time Team' books, it ties all their digs and programmes into a cohesive timeline through history. Plenty of pictures and anecdotes, and a delight to dip into when there's no 'Time Team' on the box...

Calling this 'an alternative history of Britain' is, perhaps, a bit pretentious but it is a book which should grace the shelves of any serious historian. An easy read but full of serious work.

This book is well written, in a style that allows even the most ignorant to gain a greater understanding of the major events in world history and to place them in chronological relation to others. Relating these to factual finds in the excellent Time Team programme simply makes history real, tangible and accessible to all. I would recommend this book to children, parents and grandparents!

A clear, well written guide to all the Time Team digs.
Whilst this book bills itself as a "fascinating view of British history" it is essentially a chronological list of all the Time Team digs to date. Read more
