Poverty Point is a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of a complex of monumental earthworks located in Louisiana, USA. Recently, a series of mound-like features were discovered in a GPR survey buried beneath the ground in the centre of the site. Time Team's geophys wizz Jimmy Adcock travels across the Atlantic to join a team of archeologists investigating these mysterious subterranean features. Could the origin of these mounds provide the answer to why Poverty Point's prehistoric inhabitants chose this location for their ancient city? The team has just three days to find out!

The Poverty Point resistivity survey was partially supported by a grant from the ISAP Fund of the International Society for Archaeological Prospection.

Derek Pitman and Meg Russell present a studio based run down of everything coming up for the Time Team in 2025 - from new film releases to ongoing projects and planned excavations and surveys.

Guest appearances include Helen Geake, John Gater, Hilde Van Der Heul, and Richard Osgood; Dani Wootton presents the archaeological news from around the UK and the globe; and author Raven Todd da Silva joins us on the sofa to discuss her latest book ‘The Other Ancient Civilisations'.

Special thanks to everyone involved at Bournemouth University including their second year TV Production students for making this possible.
