I recently visited the house of Sir Richard Gousehill in a small village in England, U.K. He was one of the ancestors of the first Jamestown colony settlers in the times of Cromwell.

Maybe there aren't as many corn cobs as you'd expect because they burned them for fuel. My mom grew up on a farm in Michigan during the Great Depression and they used corn cobs as fuel.

What is the likelihood that any of the seeds could still germinate?

[@kiwifruit27]

Have you tried growing any of these seeds to show visitors

Thinking about early colonists adapting to native Virginian diet, I wonder if after 400 years, evolution could play a part with local diets, climate and terrain to where descendants of such early arriving people to Virginia today would have genetically adapted to the point of becoming a type of native hybrid separate from european genetics alone. How long would it evolutionarily take before Americans of such early colonial descendants adapt to a point of essentially aligning with new genes mirroring that of native Americans. Darkening pigments and other qualities more aligned with the land in a humid more southerly climate savoring foods native to Virginia and the greater South.

Do you ever find human poop?

Throwing junk in the well makes no sense to me
