@Shane Valcich -- I have the same problem with the American version, and surprisingly with the New Time Team on KZitem. The narrator/presenters are boring, boring, boring and their voices almost put me to sleep. I miss the enthusiasm and energy of Tony Robinson. Also the characters of the archeologists are bland and generic, nothing like the original UK Time Team members. It is no wonder this show only lasted 9 episodes.

I enjoyed the show and I have been watching the orginal (UK)show since it was first aired. It was fascinating to see the differences in the way the digs are approached and it does make sense that the American archealogists are slower and sift the dirt . In the UK the population has been more concentrated on a smaller amount of land - so in one dig you could find medieval, saxon, roman and prehistoric in one trench... in the States perhaps one culture. What i did find that was missing was how long that culture had been there. They where there a thousand years ago - but how many years / generations had they been there?

There was also 50 year drought that started @1300 C.E. So it may have been hard to grow crops. In New Mexico is the Chaco Canyon and it is absolutely amazing what the Anasazi created without modern surveying equipment and the culture that popped up because of it. But you’re right that there could be multiple reasons why their society collapsed and we may never have a complete, 100% accurate reason why they “disappeared”. And as someone living in Utah, we are currently in the worse drought conditions in 1200 years. So it will be interesting to see what happens to our society if this is a 50 or 100 year drought (or longer). Can you imagine the chaos of millions and millions of people fighting for limited resources? Glad I’m at the end of my life!

The voiceover guy was a little boring. He sounded like a 5th grade art teacher trying to explain 10th grade history to a group of 3rd grade students.

Erosion in the valley tells the tale, the ancients first inhabiting the heights, then, as the water levels fell, moving onto the valley floor, and later moving south, following the water, until it bled away down the Grand Canyon, more than two hundred miles south, nearly a thousand years later. The peoples who lived here were survivors, or first-, or second-generation descendants of survivors of the Exodus Epoch, the nearly-800-year-long siege that remodeled Earth into its present form, and relocated the poles several times, leaving scattered, shattered survivors to pick up the pieces of their former lives and resume. In the waning centuries of the ancient era, survivors made their way south from the extreme north, now an inhospitable wasteland, but formerly a rich hunting ground for hunters from Siberia. The survivors drifted south, exploring the newly-exposed regions, once under a shallow inland sea, but now revealed to human eyes for the first time. The inquisitive would have kept going, reaching the northern reaches of a vast lake sitting atop the present-day Four Corners, region, nearly 300 miles in diameter, a body of water as much as 1,500 feet deep, that would not disappear until the last of it drained away down the Grand Canyon, circa 1250 AD. It had sat on the sandstones of ancient seas for nearly two millennia, slowly receding, as the waters ate away at the volcanic plug in the western reaches of the Grand Canyon-Parashant, and the hard surfaces of Black Canyon. When a gap was opened, the waters rushed in, and made short work of widening a raceway to allow the pent-up waters to rush through, completing the creation of the area we know today, and allowing the waters on the western side of the Wasatch Front, to begin draining away to the Gulf of Baja California, as well, In short order, the American West was revealed in all its splendor, to await the arrival of men, When the waters filled the valley, the ancients stored their corn in granaries on the sides of the mountains. As the water levels fell, they moved down to the floor, and then out onto the plains, following the water's southerly path. These were likely the ancestors of the builders of Wupatki, Hovenweep and Chaco, and cousins to the builders of Mesa Verde, Walnut Canyon, Bandelier, Canon de Chelley, and other cliff-dwellings. These people braved the wilderness we can only guess at, the first humans to venture into a space that had been a polar region, before events following Exodus lifted the region into its current location, creating the wonderland of canyons, hoodoos and the ghostly shapes of Monument Valley, and the other sites of southern Utah, western Colorado, northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona, as we know them today. The problem for those explorers was that, in following the water, they trapped themselves in the Southwest, unable to return, because of the aridity that seems innate to the nature of the area (the melting of the ice cap, although it might well have been very much smaller, may have produced less runoff, due to the region's arid nature, but that is mere speculation). Four Corners might have become the South Pole (for reasons unconnected with this topic), around the time of Noah's Flood, but it could easily have been the location longer than that. The uplift of the Colorado Plateau ended that condition, amid the upheaval that lifted the Rockies, the fault-blocking mountains across Utah and Nevada, and the Sierra Nevada, located on the eastern edge of an "accretionary plate" that ran from eastern Siberia, across to Alaska, and down the present-day West Coast of the US, into Mexico, to a point just south of the end of the Sierra Madre, in northern Guatemala. Eventually, after nearly two millennia, the waters disappeared down the Grand Canyon, and the people moved away, to greener pastures, mostly east, but also south and northerly, into the mountains. There wasn't much to the west for them, the canyon, and the massive desert west of it, discouraged all but the most determined. The ancient western landscape returned to solitude, awaiting the arrival of Native settlers, circa 1400, 150 years after the Anasazi abandoned their cities, and the Spanish and American settlers, 200-400 years later. The origin myths of the peoples of the Southwest speak of "emerging into" this world, a world of "light", as if following some great calamity. The Biblical record speaks of earth-shattering calamities, cataclysms and catastrophes. Here, we have evidence of the effects on the survivors, reduced to survival-level existence in a remote area the survivors stayed in for as long as a century. I suggest this time length, due to the construction of the granaries, and the valley-floor shelters. For the water to have lowered far enough, from the hilltops to the floor, and for the ground to have dried out enough to allow travel, would have taken years, as long as 20 years, perhaps even more. The hills show steady, regular, erosion by lapping water, ie a shoreline. They fall by a few feet at a time, indicating enough time passed for the previous level to have made its mark, so if we assume these are "annual" marks, it's safe to say it took 20 years for the water to fall low enough to reveal the valley floor. By this time, the survivors are not still living on the mountain tops, but have begun to move downslope. It might have taken another 20 years, for the water to recede enough to make living in that area too distant from water supplies, necessitating another move. In such a way, it's clear, the peoples who became the Anasazi spent hundreds of years, moving into the region. As they did, they acclimatized, and developed strategies for coping with the peculiarities of desert living. The water pouring into the area, initially, would have mowed down tens of thousands of trees, offering easily-obtained building materials, for roofs and lintels, etc, as we see in the later constructions. The climate and landscape still presented logistical challenges, and life in the region had to be difficult under the best of conditions, but when one has lemons, what is one to do but to try to make lemonade! This is what the Anasazi did, creating a trading empire that stretched from the beaches of San Diego, to the turquoise mines east of Santa Fe, long before hipsters discovered either locale.

It can form nonbiologically (this has been proven in experiments) but microbes probably contribute to the process in the real world. We often find remains of microbes in the in varnish under the microscope. There are many types of microbes who oxidize various metals as part of their metabolism & they likely play a role in forming these deposits.

The truth is we do not know, but the likely-hood they also tied a rope to a tree above is much much higher than they not only climbed up freehand, but continued to do so for many years. For anyone to think that they lived there all those years and not one of them ever thought to lower themselves with a rope, is preposterous at best.

*AOkay* I _almost_ agree, certainly about the _pretentiousness._ The trouble is simply that many see our *Time Team* and compare *Time Team America* with that. They are actually rather different. I also think that the *TTA* producers misunderstood the attraction of *TT* to *USA* audiences and, in a misguided attempt to get a larger audience share, did actually _dumb it down_ a bit. I sincerely doubt that _any_ of the archæologists approved.

They are out in the middle of nowhere, on a huge site, 3 days is absurd. The host and his whispery voice overs is boring. he reminds me of Steve, the host from the kids show Blues Clues.

Tony was a comedian when he started out (1983-1988). He was part of an act called 'Who Dares, Wins'. I went to one of their shows many moons ago - he was running around naked. I still can't get that vision out of my head!! Even his acting was more like comedy sketches, so never really considered him an actor as such. So for us older Brits imagine how we felt when he went from comedy to Archeology. I wish Time Team had done more in America - There must be so much to discover. Were there no program makers doing this sort of thing in the US?

I am sorry, but I like the announcer here over Sir Anthony. Tony wants everything right away and being that he is an amateur archaeologist, he should understand that on many digs it can take years to get down to the serious finds. Give me Mick and others over Tony.

When he said "third person" to touch that arrow head in a thousand years it hit a different way. Person 1 who made it, person 2 who was killed by it, person 3 who found it. It makes you wonder if the Natives hadn't been fighting amongst themselves when the English colonist first came over what would have happened. The way America is now though the States are no doubt going to fight each other again soon and this Union is going to collapse under its own weight

Kept safe and dry from animals. Raccoons and Bears come to mind but certainly others. Also made it harder for other tribes to raid their food stores. A rival tribe certainly could have raided their food. But it would have taken a lot more time and been more dangerous, not worth it for a raiding party.

It's not clear to me what all the grousing is about. I've watched dozens of the British Isles Time Team episodes & the first 4 of the Time Team America. Both productions have rather crummy intro and ending music (though the British version is slightly more "traditional" rum-ti-tum-tum). Both have 'simplified' explanations of archeological terminology/technology but with fairly clear views of what various 'scan results' look like and what they mean to the field workers (diggers), if one is paying attention. It's true that the British scholars on site are more voluble. That may be just their personalities or that the Brits on the program are more accomplished/practiced teachers than the American scholars chosen for this series. Go view the first (series 1) 4-5 Time Team episodes. The participants are not as 'animated' there as they became over many seasons. I say give this American crew a chance to develop their style. After all, it's not a completely rehearsed, scripted play or movie -- it's improvised as needed 'in the moment'. Which is usually considered the hardest type of presenting/acting. As to the style of 'digging' differences: There has been continual and complex occupation of most areas of the "British Isles" for many thousands of years with some surviving documentation, so every millimeter they dig down can reveal a different known occupation. This requires a very different approach from the nearly 'undocumented' sequences of occupations in the 'Americas'. [No I'm not ignoring the indigenous accounts of their histories/occupations. Some academics have done this, but not so much now.] I mean, so much indigenous 'history' has been lost through suppression and genocide of tribes that archeologists don't have the sort of historical details that inform them in other parts of the world about what they might expect the stratigraphy to be in any given area. This requires much more careful digging so as not to destroy occupation evidence .

"Every time you excavate you destroy the site..." It's painful to think that in the future, technology will allow a much more thorough investigation without the need to disturb the sites. Painful because so much information is destroyed when these sites are excavated now. I wish the rancher who owned this land was able to keep it protected until the day these sites could be examined without ever touching them.
