    Bricks! Sorry for shouting, but you just solved a mystery in my front yard. A 3 SF area wouldn’t grow grass. I dug up the area, and starting about 1” under the topsoil a 4” layer of red “brick like” dust/dirt was there. Below that, it was regular soil again. I had no idea what it was, but I’ll bet it was crushed up bricks. Looked like the layers in your video. I always learn something from your videos! Keep up the great work.

    Same here! My 10th great grandparents are buried there. To think we get to see what they saw all those hundreds of years ago.

    Very interesting and expertly analysed and explained. It’s amazing to think that’s where my ancestors who left the British isles all those years ago first settled in their new life.

    Archaeologists are Anthropologists with an extra degree. Both are awesome & rewarding career paths.

    Makes you wonder, as the first settlers stepped foot on land, they would be evaluated on how they lived life. Kinda makes you wonder if that will happen to "us" 500 years from now. Highly doubt it, but still neat to think about.

    My son’s 7th grade class is reading/studying a book called “Written In Bone, Buried Lives of Jamestown & Colonial Maryland” by Sally M. Walker. It’s an interesting read. Our ancestors were the Swans who settled Swan’s Point/1640.

    Very fascinating! I wonder if someone will dig in that exact spot several centuries later and wonder how and why that hole is there. Of course, if the information on hand now is lost in time.

    Man I've run across similar stuff like this in and around Atlanta Georgia but I don't know if it was old burial sites or not I would be just digging with a shovel for a foundation or something never give it a second thought to why there was bricks there soft bricks at that like mud bricks they were actually softer than the soil around them???
