Dig Deeper Episode 50 - The Church Tower Dig, Part IV: A Fire Understood
Jamestown Rediscovery Site Supervisor Anna Shackelford describes the finds at the dig site immediately west of the late 17th Century Church Tower at Historic Jamestowne. Review of historic documents and archaeological study of artifacts and soil strata identified the site of first church tower (possibly built in 1617) at Historic Jamestowne. This timber-framed tower was most likely part of the church constructed in 1617, incorporated into the subsequent brick church built between 1639-1647, and burned to the ground during Bacon's Rebellion on September 19, 1676. The brick church tower remaining at Jamestown today was built atop the remains of that burned initial church tower in the later part of the 17th century.

AWESOME. More, please.
Without a doubt this is some of the very best archaeology that I have ever seen. JamestownRediscovery is setting the bar for all archaeologists every where. Brilliant job!!!
Anna is one of my favorite presenters. You do a fabulous job! It’s also very exciting to have an exact date of the evidence you have found of the burn area! Keep up the good work everyone. You are doing a wonderful thing for the preservation of our historical sites. Mary
Please do just long videos of digging, subscribed, so rad!
I'm so glad to have found this channel. These segments are just wonderful and fascinating. Thank you for sharing this information.
awesome video
Hi. Really like your accent and tone of voice. It reminds me of my family from West Dorset in England. I also wonder that apart from the hard archeology how much effort do you make regarding social and economic history, the evolution of dialects. Perhaps you do follow the journey from an English colony of dissenters and adventurers to freedom you sort and the creation of your own country. Excellent and easily understandable videos. Nick
I love watching about Jamestown. I’ve been doing some ancestry digging. I’ve found some links to jamestown( I believe). I love old history.
Very cool interp...! Thanks
Congratulations guy’s that’s a comprehensive outcome for the excavation. To get a single day of the history of the settlement is amazing. September 19th is my birthday but I’m not quite as old as your church grounds. 👍🏻
Also coming in with some questions: 1. How do you know where you can step? For example, what if you step on some of the burnt plaster layer, does that harm the work in any way? 2. How do you know where to start digging? How does that get decided? Do you ever find you're digging in the "wrong direction"? 3. What happens with the samples and discoveries you uncover? I'm guessing they're sent to labs, but how much is sent off and how much do you try to preserve on the grounds? 4. How exactly does the archaeological process help you redefine your understandings of the structures and areas?
I love the work you guys do!
Thank you
Love your videos.
I've met Rusty Shackleford. He's the one that sold me this container of Pocket Sand. 😁
do archaeologists hibernate in caves ? Pls answer as I don't want to mistake them for bears.😂😂
