Jamestown, Virginia, USA. Months of extensive archaeological work led to the discovery of this fireplace. The bottom of this dig site is about five feet below today's ground level. Combined with written records from the colonial era, the archaeologists have figure this to be the cellar of a 'factory' building, similar to one found at a different place on the site about a decade ago.

I find this type of image to be very interesting, I can't imaging the excitement they must feel when they find something. tigs=^..^=

Very interesting shot, Thad. I got a good glance at a dig when I was in Israel back in 1995.

All I can think of is that it must have been fascinating & educational to see an active archeology site. The brick fireplace appears to have withstood time. Perfect lighting too. Excellent, Thad.

Very interesting discoveries they are making - I wouldn't have guessed that there was even a factory at Jamestown.
