Dig Deeper Episode 69 - The Governor's Well Part III - The Final Story a 360 Video

Director of Archaeology Dave Givens, Senior Staff Archaeologists, Mary Anna R. Hartley and Sean Romo, and Staff Archaeologist Natalie Reid describe the excavations of the c. 1617 Well found at Historic Jamestowne. This discussion includes how the well was discovered, implementation of safety protocols (i.e., well ring), the artifacts recovered, and how the ongoing damage resulting from climate change at Jamestown, necessitated excavations as soon as possible.

    I have been following your videos for quite some time now, and this takes the cake!! Not only was the filming fantastic, but the finds are amazing!! The bricks with the different marks in them are a marvelous find. Thank you for keeping us updated with these finds.

    I recommend sealing up notes and pics in a watertight container and placing them at the bottom of the well for the centuries ahead before filling in. Who knows if what you've collected will survive for future generations?

    I think the Spanish used leather or some canister and would seal it with wax. So sunken ships could still have documents preserved.

    Its not ancient history - its 300 years ago - I lived a house older than that for 40 years…what a bunch - it was 1000 above sea level, its open well was used from the end of the last ice age and no salt water is needed to create hydrogen sulphide from aquifer water…. What a bunch

    I'm so glad this popped up on my feed. Recently I found out that one line in my family goes all the way back to this period, an English officer who married a Pamunkey/Powhatan woman. I consider the Tidewater Chesapeake Bay area to be my home, but I never realized that I had roots going back that far. It seems so remote. Now, I'm eager to learn whatever I can about this period. And, hope to get back to see some of this in person, soon. Thank you for sharing these discoveries.

    Watch it in a browser and not the app... It isn't 360. Also, 360 is great tool when properly utilized - no doubt it I'll benefit someone.

    Tired of climate change coming into every video you make. Where Jamestown is located is an ever changing area. Between river movements, unstable ground, storms etc. the geography has changed over centuries. Just be archaeologists.

    If you live on a low lying island in the Caribbean,then climate change is just about as relevant as it can get.

    ​@skepticalbadger mostly because the climate has been in Flux on this planet since ALWAYS. Long before we came around and long after we are gone. In fact, depending on how far back you go, you can skew the data to show that we are warming up. However, if you go further back, it's clear that we are in a state of cooling off. That been said, global warming is a corporo-political hoax designed to usurp the energy industry with solutions that are no better than the former in terms of pollution.

    Well when people bring up climate change it generally makes me be skeptical of whatever else they say. I know for instance people promoting climate change clearly deny scientific studies that use tree rings to establish a 89 year weather global warming period. It’s what caused the dust bowl during the Great Depression. Look at Europe how they said it’s climate change that caused the rivers to be dry because of carbon pollution. They found writing on rocks in the dry rivers. I ask how did the people make writing on rock when the river runs low centuries ago if the river runs low only due to human caused pollution like scientists and governments and Greta keeps saying
