Director of Native American Studies to appear on PBS Series "Time Team America"

Series premieres Wednesdays, July 8-August 5, 2009, 7 p.m.

Part extreme adventure, part hard science, and part reality show, Time Team America takes viewers deep into the trenches of America’s most intriguing archaeological sites. Director of Native American Studies Joe Watkins will appear on the show as one of the team's archaeologists.

In each episode, the show’s team of top scientists has just three days to uncover the buried secrets of their assigned dig. Every hour counts as they piece together the past using the latest technology, decades of combined experience and their own sharp wits. Far from the comfort of a science lab, Time Team America faces searing heat, driving rain, alligator-infested swamps, frayed nerves and the inevitable technical setbacks. Through it all, the audience peers over the shoulders of diggers at work, eavesdrops on intense conversations between experts and shares the rush of discovery as artifacts emerge from the ground.
