How cool would that be to be an archeologist at James Town.
Thank you for these videos. They're thrilling to me! I grew up in Williamsburg. When I was a student at William and Mary in the early 1970s, I worked for Bill Kelso on the Carter’s Grove plantation project and the colonial hospital project in Williamsburg. I'm so happy to hear about your work.
The dedication of the archeologists throughout this series of Dig Deeper Is very gratifying. I was part of a amateur team who worked the coffeehouse midden some years ago and enjoyed being a small part of the archeology team. I'm still fascinated by the work done by your team of professionals in this artifact rich environment. The story of Jamestown Settlement is very rich historically and I'm happy to see the use of GPR to save time and tell the story more completely. Excellent work!!
Thank you all conected 2 this site for all your hard work over the years.. bringing us info of the past from nothing but research..
When I see artifacts from the early period, I cannot help but wonder if my ancestor John Chandler , who as a ten year old indentured servant who was brought to Jamestown around 1609, may have seen or touched the Item. At 71 years of age my last remaining bucket list is a trip to Jamestown .My other direct ancestor was Captain Thomas Warren who bought the land where Smiths old fort stood from Thomas Routh and built the fifty foot brick house in 1652 which is still standing today .
I love that I am not the only one who thinks about my Jamestown Ancestors when I watch this.
Cecily Jordan is my Jamestown Ancestor, she was also 10 when she came over on the Swan in 1609.
You must go!! It will not disappoint.
Thank you for another informative video.
This is always exciting to see your discoveries! Thank you
Great presentation by all three. Clear, concise - very well explained and very interesting.
Always interesting! Thank you for sharing.
incredible work and presentation
Thank you for sharing ❤
Hubby and I enjoyed visiting at the site and seeing what's doing. We have ancestors who were there in the day. Quite a thing to think that we could be walking in their footsteps.
Fabulous video.
Thank you.
It’s been awhile since your last video. Thank you for updating us. I understand not digging that cellar, yet….. it would be so awesome if you did. Mary
I'm puzzled about the location of the cellar so close to those graves, especially that one closest.
FASCINATING!
These are always too short. Love these!❤
I met y’all when I was there in April.
I love y'alls job ❤❤❤
Why would a church be deconsecrated when there are bodies buried in the churchyard?? Doesn't that constitute "deconsecrating" the churchyard as well?
This is awesome! I’m studying to be an archaeologist currently in college. I have a question why do you not or how do you not keep from digging into those places. Like “the cellar” you found. It’s gotta be so enticing to just want to dig up those artifacts. But I do understand the less soil that is disturbed the better.
How hard is it to have the discipline to NOT dig the cellar? Or follow something out of the current pit?
trick comment .... no lost colony 🤘
If you found relatives to those from Jamestowne imagine the value of they painted you a picture made a clay pot, or even blown some glass ?
