>remarkable testimony to the ways that 15 years of > archaeological excavations by Kelso and his team have transformed our > knowledge of the early decades of the first settlement. > What knowledge would members of this list say was *transformed* (as opposed to deepened and enriched)? Has our knowledge changed or have the questions we ask changed? Jon: I, for one, would welcome a discussion about the anniversary and its presentation on this list. Having studied and lectured on Jamestown while we living in England, I took my children back to the US for the celebration and got to see it through their eyes as well. To my mind there has been far too little discussion *after the fact* of the celebration, what it set out to accomplish, whether it realized its ambitions, and what was learned. _________________________________________________________________ When your life is on the go—take your life with you. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/115298558/direct/01/ ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
