Description
The chief archaeologist of Colonial Williamsburg shows how the discoveries made at colonial America sites have helped dramatically to fill in the gaps in the documentary history. The author tells the archaeological story of colonial Virginia by describing the excavations at Roanoke Island, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, and by revealing to us the treasures of two "lost plantations." Its chief attraction lies in the rich picture it gives of the intimacies of colonial life. The author reveals how the archaeologist marries the clues which the excavations provide to the written historical record to arrive at new levels of understanding about how our colonial ancestors lived.
