E1Wedgwood's First Factory - Burslem, Stoke-On-TrentThe Team are in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, to investigate what remains of Josiah Wedgwood's first factory and to discover what pottery he was making there. They find evidence of several centuries of potting and bottle kilns, including a time capsule of the pottery of Enoch Wood & Sons. Experimental archaeology: a replica creamware vase. - Back Garden Roman Finds - Papcastle, Cumbria
E2Back Garden Roman Finds - Papcastle, CumbriaPapcastle, a small village outside Cockermouth in Cumbria, boasts a Roman fort. But when a local resident got in touch with Time Team about some substantial stonework he had dug out of his garden the moment had come to look beyond the fort. - Dominican Friary Church and Norman Cathedral - Thetford, Norfolk
E3Dominican Friary Church and Norman Cathedral - Thetford, NorfolkThe site of Thetford Grammar School in Norfolk may today be a place for exams and play, but in the 13th century, a large Dominican friary was here and before that, for a mere 24 years, a Norman cathedral. - Cooper's Hole - Cheddar Gorge, Somerset
E4Cooper's Hole - Cheddar Gorge, SomersetInvestigation, at the invitation of the cave's owner, the Marquess of Bath, to see if there is evidence of Palaeolithic human activity in the cave. This may be among the oldest homes in England. The ultimate aim is to get the site scheduled and thus protected from unofficial damage. However it soon becomes clear there is a lot of preparatory work involved. They are joined by palaeontologist Andy Currant, and cave archaeologists Larry Barham and Kate Robson Brown. Caver Malcolm Cotter directs them to a cache of bones; but the tunnel is blocked by sediment from flooding. - Medieval Plympton - Plympton, Devon
E5Medieval Plympton - Plympton, DevonA village that had had its heyday in the Middle Ages. They looked in back gardens and public spaces, under stairs, in cellars and in attics for clues to the village's antiquity, but their biggest surprise came in the grounds of a nunnery. - Tudor Dockyard - Smallhythe, Kent
E6Tudor Dockyard - Smallhythe, KentSmallhythe is now a village amid fields. The nearest body of water being a Sewer and a drainage ditch. But in the 15th and 16th centuries, it was the site of a bustling shipbuilding industry right next to the mile-wide River Rother. - Golf Course Roman Bathhouse - Beauport Park, Sussex
E7Golf Course Roman Bathhouse - Beauport Park, SussexHistorian Guy de la Bedoyere asks the team to investigate the isolated ruins of a bath-house, discovered by Gerald Brodribb in the midst of dense Sussex woodland. Gerald has made a scale model of the building, and Guy explains the connection to the Roman navy. After a demonstration of dowsing from Gerald, the team's first task is to clear the land before digging. With ancient technology expert Jake Keen and blacksmith Reg Miles, Phil attempts to smelt iron using a traditional furnace. The team are also joined by archaeometallurgist Gerry McDonnell. - Back To Turkdean - Turkdean, Gloucestershire
E9Back To Turkdean - Turkdean, GloucestershireThis year, for the first time revisiting an excavation, S5E4, the Team came back to the site to see if they could make sense of the spectacular geophysics results that they had not had time to investigate during the live dig. - Field Cropmarks - Kemerton, Worcestershire
E10Field Cropmarks - Kemerton, WorcestershireAn aerial survey of a Worcestershire field has revealed cropmarks leading to substantial Bronze Age finds. But Iron Age remains also exist. Time Team tries to sort it out. Local schoolchildren help with a bit of fieldwalking; and Mick shows how cropmarks and posthole marks become visible in fields. Francis Pryor explains the difference between Bronze Age and Iron Age and describes life in a roundhouse. Also joining the team are archaeologist Malcolm Atkin and environmentalist Liz Pearson; while wood specialist Guy Apter gets the kids to help make a Bronze Age ard (plough). - Ruined Norman Church - Bawsey, Norfolk
E11Ruined Norman Church - Bawsey, NorfolkThis live dig centres on a ruined Norman church on a hill in Norfolk. This National Trust site promises to be the richest source of finds that Time Team have yet seen, with previous evidence of human occupation from most periods in antiquity. This requires several trenches, including the longest one that Time Team have ever dug. They start with some fieldwalking and metal detectoring, before digging in earnest. Among many finds are a bronze age arrow head, a medieval tiled floor, coins and several well-preserved skeletons. One skull shows clear evidence of having been brutally slaughtered by a swordsman on horseback. The team are joined by Helen Geake, Neil Holbrook, Andrew Rogerson, pottery expert Paul Blinkhorn, osteoarchaeologist Margaret Cox, and historian John Blair. Celebrities Sandi Toksvig and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall also drop in. Hugh and Victor help Saxon re-enactor Russell Scott to recreate a bronze artefact from scratch. - Montravers Estate (Part 1) - Nevis, West Indies
E12Montravers Estate (Part 1) - Nevis, West IndiesThe Time Team go to the West Indies and the island of Nevis. Their intention is to uncover the remains of a number of plantation houses that now are no more than ruins. The dig is important because the whole area is soon to be developed as a tourist complex with golf course. - Montravers Estate (Part 2) - Nevis, West Indies
E13Montravers Estate (Part 2) - Nevis, West IndiesInvited by historian David Small, the team are on the tiny Caribbean island of Nevis, for a six-day dig to uncover the history of sugar production and slavery here. They are investigating a particular plantation, Montravers Estate, now overgrown, originally owned by wealthy 18th century Bristolean John Prater Pinney. Robin visits Bristol University, researching the extensive documentation. Back on Nevis, pottery expert David Barker is shown pottery sherds, most of which he dates to the 1840s. Phil crosses to neighbouring St. Kitts, to help make sugar from sugar cane. Sugar would have been extracted in a mill operated by teams of oxen. Molasses, the byproduct of sugar processing, was fermented to make rum. In the jungle Stewart searches for a slave village. They are also joined by local historian David Rollinson.
