9 October 2007

First lecture: "Jamestown, More Buried Truth . . ." 
by Dr. William Kelso, APVA Director of Archaeology

Hear about the plan behind the excavations and discovery of the remains
of James Fort. Includes updates on the most current discoveries from the
on-going excavations during 2007 and the exciting events surrounding the
400th Anniversary of the founding of Jamestown.

30 October 2007

Second lecture: "From Goats to Griffins: Animals, Real and Imaginary, at
Jamestown"
by Bly Straube, APVA Historic Jamestowne Senior Curator

The archaeological investigations of James Fort have revealed that many
animals, both real and imagined, accompanied the English colonists to
Virginia in the early 17th century. Most came as livestock, providing an
important source of food; but some were brought for purposes of hunting,
protection, transportation, pest control, or companionship. The English
also brought numerous imaginary animals depicted on the many objects
they transported across the ocean for their use. These animals provided
symbols by which individuals or institutions could be easily recognized
in the colonial society. 

13 November 2007

Third lecture: A special 2007 lecture presented by Dr. Franklin
Chang-Diaz, NASA Astronaut, Retired, presenting "Exploration Then and
Now...An Astronaut's Perspective."

The spirit and courage of the Jamestown settlers hold many lessons and
examples for today's explorers. Come, listen, and learn about the
continued effort in exploring worlds beyond those we know. Future plans
may very well be guided by the lessons of Jamestown's past. NASA has
been a partner to the Jamestown Rediscovery project, including the
recent effort, when the 17th-century lead James Towne shipping tag went
into space on space shuttle mission STS-117.

The tickets for the lecture entire lecture series are $28 for all three
or $10 each individually. The lectures will be held in the Kimball
Theatre, Merchants Square, Williamsburg, Virginia, at 7:00 p.m. Visit
