My ancestor , John Chandler was taken to Jamestown in 1609 as a 10 year old indentured servant. No telling what he had to eat there !
Great find. The ed she'd is a genius idea. Thanks to all for the hard work.
Great video and thanks for continuing to share the hunt for history! I am fortunate to have visited in the summer of 2021 and it was a wonderful experience.
So kool! I'll never get there, so seeing this is delightful.
Makes me wonder if somebody picked up a pet iguana at one of the islands, then when times got tough had to eat it...Are there no deer in Jamestown? You'd think that's the first thing they'd start hunting.
If they went out far from the fort they natives would have had them for lunch
I believe the native local Indians killed or drove out as much of the deer as possible in order to starve out and force out the colonists. Any colonist who stepped out of the fort for a nature call or to hunt, did so at great peril, because attack was nearly an automatic result. Guerrilla warfare that came oh so close to succeeding against Jamestown. While making their pitstops at the islands before sailing on to Jamestown, the colonists would feast on birds, turtles, iguanas, fish, etc, which were all plentiful. I believe they were so happy at the bountiful and surprisingly delicious new food sources, that there was little chance anybody thought of making pets out of iguanas. At least that is my take after reading some books on Jamestown that relied on first hand accounts. I am reading and have almost finished Sea Venture, which is a good read. I highly recommend "Love and Hate in Jamestown" by David Price, which is well-written, well-researched and riveting. Mr. Price uses corroborating accounts from Captain John Smith and others, as well as some accounts that differed from Smith's. One of my favorite history books!
Love the videos I've been watching them for a while now
Thanks and praise to all of you for your heart and diligent work in uncovering our culture
I love this channel and find this fascinating. I wonder if 3d scanning of the artifacts would help with the reassembly of matching fragments? It is amazing to me how much survives in the ground after so many years.
I have been following this for years. Canadian Archeologists would do well to explore Port Royal and Quebec. Both were started at the same time.
This is fascinating!
Amazing. Very interesting and informative. Greetings from Yorkshire.
Couldn't an iguana have been a stow-a-way on a ship heading to Jamestown and caught and eaten during hard times ?
All times were hard times during journeys in the 1600s. Some iguanas may have stowed away or were kept for future meals after leaving the islands, like the bones found in the video, but probably were mostly consumed at the islands, due to necessity and abundance. Surely better food sources than what was on the ships. Stored food full of bugs and stowaway rats? Ugh!
Knowing they were in the Caribbean explains how the settlers would know they were safe to eat.
😁👍
The moment they weave in fake science climate change aka global worming you know their opinion isn’t worth a tinkers cuss
Pistol could of been owned by my ancestors..
I've lost 3 gold rings that was on my fingers not all at once though..
Hello 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely fascinating archaeology. Thank you.
No please...no lecture on climate change...here it comes . Iam out.
Climate Change ? lol
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
Could bone marrow DNA from these 400 year old remains be submitted to any of the genetics companies like AncestryDNA and the like, to see who may currently be possibly related to the colonists?
What are the hardhats for? Climate change protection? The sky is falling?
Boring video
Suka video ini
The loss of five barrels of goods must have been devastating for the owners, in addition to the loss of their residence. The hardships these people went through are incomprehensible. It kind of feels ike they were pointless victims of capitalism. It's interesting that we can extrapolate so much sociologically and anthropologically from archeology.

Thank you
Nice video,Thanks.
Thank you
Splendid research and presentation. Thank you
Could this kind of DNA testing be done of the remains of unknown Civil War soldiers killed in service to they're country. ?
I'd love to see it after they cleaned it up!
Thank you.
what is the Netherlands now? it was already the Netherlands then. and what you have there is a so-called bridal box. These boxes were filled with money and given to the bridal couple. This was primarily a Frisian tradition. When I look at the shape, I think it was made in Sneek or the surrounding area. In good condition, this box is now worth about thirty thousand euros. The Frisian Museum has several copies in its collection, I would contact them
Ever thought of an Argon box for immediate stabilization?
Climate change? Cut the BS and grow up.
That was great
incredible work and presentation
I cannot believe the expense that must’ve been spent to conduct this study. Not only that, it is totally invasive to the person that was buried. We know what people wore back then. It is not essential to study this.
It flooded up to 15 ft in 1675
trick comment .... no lost colony 🤘
Thank you for sharing ❤
I love this channel and their videos but the Towel scraping intro is possibly the most annoying intro I’ve ever heard of it was about 1/4 as long it would be fine but it literally makes my skin crawl kinda like nails on a chalkboard and for some reason it’s just he intro when they scrap with towels in the actual footage it doesn’t bother me.
It would be interesting to explore how these individuals died, of natural causes or not for each and whether there's enough remains to make these determinations.
