Recently started rewatching an old uk series called time team. Basically loads of quick short archeological digs, though the tech is a bit dated (geophysics was just available to them for the first series). Its on channel4.com though you might need to vpn to the UK.

As a teenager, it nearly swung me to studying archeology, would definitely recommend.

I'll definitely check it out! I majored in anthropology as an undergrad and did some graduate work in archeology, so this looks really interesting. I watched a lot of archeological documentaries when I was a teenager, too. In college, after my first intro to archeology class, I declared a major in anthropology with a concentration in archeology.
