Archaeology continues to be a powerful way to re-visit Jamestown, the first permanent colony of the English outside the British Isles and the birthplace of modern America. For over two centuries the heart of the original town, 1607-1624 James Fort, was thought lost to river erosion. Digging over the past 15 years has proven the erosion story unfounded, as almost the entire Fort site has been uncovered on dry land. This lecture examines the history, the process and the major finds of a rediscovered Jamestown and new insights into the events and people who struggled to establish what have become many of the basic traditions that make up American society.

The Popham Colony was the first organized attempt to establish an English colony on the shores of what we now know as New England. It was planted at the mouth of the Kennebec River in the summer of 1607 and lasted for little over a year until it was abandoned in the fall 1608. Popham was the first claim of possession of what was then called Northern Virginia by the English, and later known as 'New' England at the time the Pilgrims established the first permanent settlement in Massachusetts Bay thirteen years later. Archaeological investigations have relocated the remains of Fort St. George, the principal installation of the Popham Colony, and restored it to its significant place in history.
