The Jamestown Rediscovery archaeology team has largely focused on the first permanent English settlement on Jamestown Island. However, the archaeologists began to find a large amount of Virginia Indian artifacts alongside the European material culture. Deep pits, ditches, and wells preserved a “moment in time” when the colonists and indigenous population intersected. This year, the team is exploring, highlighting, and giving agency to early interaction between Native and newcomer. Mr. Givens will discuss the team’s effort to be responsible stewards of our Nation’s diverse history.
David Givens, staff archaeologist with the Jamestown Rediscovery Project, specializes in archaeological Geographic Information Systems (GIS). His job involves the linking of volumes of spatial data and archaeological information into a viable and sustainable digital archive. He is also a principal author of the book Church and State: The Archaeology of The Foundations of Democracy.
