Jamestown, Virginia, USA. The first settlement of colonial Virginia, and its first capital, was Jamestown. The original location was always well known, but assumed to have been lost to tidal changes in the adjacent James River. However, active archeological work in the past thirty years has unearthed much of the original settlement. This archaeologist is meticulously marking and measuring the location of a 'newer' post, above the location of the original settlement remains. In addition to her work, she patiently answered questions of the curious visitors.
