On May 14, 1607, 104 English settlers landed at Jamestown Island, Virginia to establish a colony for the Virginia Company. The location served as the capital of Virginia until 1699. Thought to be lost to history forever under the James River, the original fort was unearthed in 1994 by the Jamestown Rediscovery Archaeological Project.

Beverly Straub gave a tour of the archeological collection and what it reveals about the everyday life of the 1607 settlers as she talked about the various Jamestown locations and organizations and how the sites are managed and studied. close
