    Considering that there is historical content where presumably the Jamestown church tower is being highlighted, known in such writings from the 17th century as "the tower" in regards to describing nearby lots or land owned by local inhabitants, it seems that it might be possible to use such records to figure out through dating if there were interim periods where "the tower" as a landmark failed to exist in wills and deeds, due to events as described in the video.

    Really interested to see if you all can date the fire. Have never seen that Fort Pocahontas sketch from the VHS...really cool.

    This is fascinating . The best way to learn what life was like for an ancient people is through archeology

    I’m hoping the date of the fire is really really old! Some exciting things going on there. I’m looking forward to seeing what you find in the next test pit. Mary

    Do archaeologists ever find fingerprints on the artifacts they find? Is that even a possibility?
