Time Team Update

Filming for the Time Team America episode took place June 3–6, 2012! Two film crews filmed at the Dillard site, the Crow Canyon lab, and areas around the campus. Many members of Crow Canyon's research staff were interviewed.

We're looking forward to seeing the show in 2013!

Crow Canyon and Time Team America

Crow Canyon will play a starring role in an upcoming episode of Time Team America, a popular science-archaeology series from PBS.

Using the latest technology and their own expertise, Time Team travels across the nation to excavate ancient and historic sites. Time Team's accomplished archaeologists are given 72 hours to uncover secrets of their assigned digs.

Time Team joined Crow Canyon staff at the Dillard site to help answer questions about the Basketmaker III (A.D. 500–750) community that formed there approximately 1,500 years ago. They used remote-sensing equipment at the site and conducted an airborne survey using an advanced technique, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR).

Filming took place June 3–6, 2012, and the show is scheduled to air in 2013.

Justine Shapiro is hosting the second season of the series. She is an award-winning documentary film producer and a presenter on the public television show Globe Trekker. She has also appeared in several films and television movies.
