APVA has done so for the island. Martha McCartney did the replatting,
if memory serves. She gave a lecture showing the lines. She works with
Bill Kelso on the site at Jamestown. If it wasn't her, then perhaps W&M
did some for oneof their surveys of the remainder of the island in
connection with the main Jamestown site. Dennis Blanton at the W&M
Center for Archaeological Research would be a good contact.
