A team of archaeologists and scientists from the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History have identified the remains of four men buried in Jamestown’s recently discovered historic 1608 church, where Pocahontas married John Rolfe. These men were prominent leaders who helped shape the course of English America during its earliest years. The discoveries associated with these four burials led to numerous scientific endevours. Only a few years ago many of these discoveries would not have been possible, but with recent scientific and technological advances more of the buried truth can be revealed. The following video serves as a teaser for some of the many avenues of study that were spawned from the discovery of unique artifacts in the burials, and from the physical remains.
