Director of Archaeology Dave Givens, Senior Staff Archaeologists, Mary Anna R. Hartley and Sean Romo, and Staff Archaeologist Natalie Reid describe the excavations of the c. 1617 Well found at Historic Jamestowne. This discussion includes how the well was discovered, implementation of safety protocols (i.e., well ring), the artifacts recovered, and how the ongoing damage resulting from climate change at Jamestown, necessitated excavations as soon as possible.

I have been following your videos for quite some time now, and this takes the cake!! Not only was the filming fantastic, but the finds are amazing!! The bricks with the different marks in them are a marvelous find. Thank you for keeping us updated with these finds.

Wait why is this really cool? (Btw we are learning about Jamestowne and our teacher told us to go here and this is a masterpiece)

I recommend sealing up notes and pics in a watertight container and placing them at the bottom of the well for the centuries ahead before filling in. Who knows if what you've collected will survive for future generations?

As I watched I kept coming up with questions to ask you , but within seconds you’d answer. So no questions this time, yet a big big thank you for posting this video. It had been a long time since the last one! Mary

Old wells and latrines are great places to find discarded items.

I'm so glad this popped up on my feed. Recently I found out that one line in my family goes all the way back to this period, an English officer who married a Pamunkey/Powhatan woman. I consider the Tidewater Chesapeake Bay area to be my home, but I never realized that I had roots going back that far. It seems so remote. Now, I'm eager to learn whatever I can about this period. And, hope to get back to see some of this in person, soon. Thank you for sharing these discoveries.
