In 1634, English colonists landed in Maryland to establish St. Mary's City, one of America's earliest settlements. Armed with advanced geophysics, the Time Team joins American archaeologists for three days to unearth the lost history of this colonial site. Together, they locate the long-lost foundations of St. Peter’s—the grand governor's mansion destroyed by a gunpowder explosion in 1694—investigate rare 17th-century anthropomorphic coffin burials, and search for the elusive site of the colony's very first fort. Discover how these early settlers adapted, survived, and built the foundations of colonial Maryland.
