New Discoveries at Jamestown by John L. Cotter and J. Paul Hudson.Chances are, you are reading this because you are aware that Jamestown, Virginia, celebrated its 400th birthday in 2007. It was the first "successful" English settlement in America. Although the colonists eventually moved upriver to be quit of the hard luck and difficult conditions on the small island, they left behind a trove of possessions - used, worn out, or forgotten. Did you ever stop to consider just how many different items you have, need, or use, to live, work, and amuse yourself? Chances are that you would seriously underestimate! But once you put such a list together, another person could tell quite a story about the life you lead. The puzzle of archeology is how to tell that story, just from the discovery of the traces you leave behind.Featured on Afloat on the Ohio.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
