“Never has there been so rich a collection of material culture contextually related to the site of England’s first permanent New World settlement: objects used, broken, discarded, and lost by the men, women, and children of Jamestown and their first fast-hold, James Fort. Thousands more made and used by Virginia Indians demonstrate how the cultures interwove.”
Quote from Bly Straube, senior curator of the Jamestown Rediscovery Project, APVA Preservation in Virginia.
