6 WHY IS ARCHEOLOGY IMPORTANT? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsrzHIwCK70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n41UHezUZvg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6emYInk9z8E http://historicjamestowne.org/archaeology/dig-updates/ Dr. Kelso = the REAL Indiana Jones

7 FINDING JAMES FORT The only visual representation of James Fort was sketched out in 1608 by Pedro Zuñiga, a Spanish spy. The beginning of the Jamestown Rediscovery project represented the first chance for new information in nearly 370 years.

8 WHAT DID THE ARCHEOLOGISTS THINK? Archaeologists at Jamestown Rediscovery were able to look below the surface of the ground to find traces of the original James Fort. 1.What shape was the original fort? 2.How accurate were the written records? 3.Was the map made by a Spanish spy a quick sketch, or was it accurate enough to help answer many of these questions?

9 HISTORIC DOCUMENTS ARE NOT ALWAYS COMPLETE. They can be very helpful to historical archaeologists, but can often give a limited point of view. Archaeologists use a term for seeing what was really there: ground proofing. This means that the only way you can know how accurate different descriptions of James Fort are, is to look in the ground and see it themselves.

10 BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT The archaeologists at Jamestown Rediscovery knew that there were two things that were needed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. First, archaeologists needed to find a fortification that matched the descriptions in the documents, and second thing needed was to prove the fortification dates to the first decade of the 17th century. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2GYgRODc pEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2GYgRODc pE

11 YOUR MISSION: You have some quotations describing James Fort, from some historic documents from the earliest period at Jamestown. You also have a description from the archaeologists at Jamestown, describing what they discovered. Read the following descriptions and complete the accompanying activity.

12 HOW DID THE ARCHAEOLOGY ADD INFORMATION TO THE PRIMARY DOCUMENTS? The archaeology helped the historic documentation by showing exactly where the fort was, how large it might be, and by adding artifacts and other information to the historic record.

13 DID THE HISTORIC DOCUMENTS HELP THE ARCHAEOLOGISTS? The documents helped the archaeologists understand which fort they were excavating. James Fort took on many forms over its life. The archaeologists can identify the different phases of building because of the early descriptions in the primary sources.

14 WHAT ARE SOME OTHER WAYS THAT ARCHAEOLOGY CAN HELP US TO UNDERSTAND HISTORY? Archaeology can tell us about buildings that are not described in historic documents. It can also help us understand some of the everyday ways that peopled lived in the past. This includes not just the famous people we study, but the Native Americans, Africans, women and children who are not always well represented in written histories.
