Virtual Tour of James Fort - 1607-1619

This site was rediscovered by archaeologists from 1994-1996. Since that time, we have continued to dig and found over 3.5 million artifacts. This lesson will discuss the basics of archaeology, the reasons for English colonization, the Powhatan people, the cooperation and conflict between the two cultures, and the creation of representative government in 1619. We have rebuilt the fort walls and have the actual sites where the first government met, the first church, the site of Pocahontas' wedding, proof of the starving time, and the events of Captain John Smith's books.
