Jamestown Rediscovery Project

The Jamestown Rediscovery Project is an archaeological initiative aimed at uncovering the history of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America, established in 1607. Led by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, the project began in 1994 and has unearthed significant artifacts and structures that provide insights into the lives of early settlers. This research helps historians better understand the challenges they faced, interactions with Indigenous peoples, and the development of American society. Ultimately, the project seeks to preserve and share the rich historical legacy of Jamestown with future generations.
