‎Jamestown the Buried Truth‎

‎Charlottesville Virginia: University of Virginia Press 2006. What was life really like for the band of adventurers who first set foot on the banks of the James River in 1607 Important as the accomplishments of these men and women were the written records pertaining to them are scarce ambiguous and often conflicting and those curious about the birthplace of the United States are left to turn to dramatic and often highly fictionalized reports. In Jamestown the Buried Truth William Kelso takes us literally to the soil where the Jamestown colony began unearthing the James Fort and its contents to reveal fascinating evidence of the lives and deaths of the first settlers of their endeavors and struggles and of their relationships with the Virginia Indians. He offers up a lively but fact-based account framed around a narrative of the archaeological team's exciting discoveries. Once thought to have been washed away by the James River James Fort still retains much of its structure including palisade walls bulwarks interior buildings a well a warehouse and several pits and more than 500000 objects have been cataloged half dating to the time of Queen Elizabeth and King James. Artifacts especially reflective of life at James Fort include an ivory compass Cabasset helmets and breastplates glass and copper beads and ornaments ceramics tools religious icons a pewter flagon and personal items. Dr. Kelso and his team of archaeologists have discovered the lost burial of one of Jamestown's early leaders presumed to be Captain Bartholomew Gosnold and the remains of several other early settlers including a young man who died of a musket ball wound. In addition they've uncovered and analyzed the remains of the foundations of Jamestown's massive capitol building. 238 pgs. Illustrated. Signed by William Kelso on the title page.
