Other Team Members
The regular team also includes:
- Stewart Ainsworth, landscape investigator
- John Gater, archaeological geophysicist
- Henry Chapman, surveyor
- Victor Ambrus, illustrator
The original Time Team line-up from 1994 has altered over the years. The historian Robin Bush was a regular in the first nine series, having been involved with the programme through his long friendship with Mick Aston. In 2005, Carenza Lewis left to pursue other interests. She was replaced by Anglo-Saxon specialist Helen Geake.
The team is supplemented by experts appropriate for the period and type of site. Guy de la Bédoyère has often been present for Roman digs, as well as those involving the Second World War such as D-Day and aircraft (such as the Spitfire). Margaret Cox often assists with forensic archaeology, and other specialists who appear from time to time include Bettany Hughes and David S. Neal, expert on Roman mosaics. Local historians also join in when appropriate.
More recent regular team members have included archaeologist Neil Holbrook, Roman coins specialist Philippa Walton, and historian Sam Newton.
Younger members of Time Team who have made, or currently make, regular appearances include:
- Jenni Butterworth
- Raksha Dave
- Rob Hedge
- Brigid Gallagher
- Cassie Newland
- Katie Hirst
- Alice Roberts
- Faye Simpson
- Matt Williams
Mick Worthington, formerly nicknamed "Mick the Dig" (to separate him from Mick Aston) as he worked largely on site excavation in the early years, occasionally still appears in his current occupation of dendrochronologist but with his nickname changed to "Mick the Twig". He is currently a partner in the Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory.

Famous quotes containing the words team and/or members:
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“If the most significant characteristic of man is the complex of biological needs he shares with all members of his species, then the best lives for the writer to observe are those in which the role of natural necessity is clearest, namely, the lives of the very poor.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
