Exciting new finds in the Historic Jamestowne Churchyard - Dig Deeper, Episode 20

[@TXRBL]

I’m part of the British Archaeological Association and I would have loved to have been apart of this dig. Truly amazing work.

[@bswins9648]

Bricks! Sorry for shouting, but you just solved a mystery in my front yard. A 3 SF area wouldn’t grow grass. I dug up the area, and starting about 1” under the topsoil a 4” layer of red “brick like” dust/dirt was there. Below that, it was regular soil again. I had no idea what it was, but I’ll bet it was crushed up bricks. Looked like the layers in your video. I always learn something from your videos! Keep up the great work.

[@nate8484]

As a Jamestown descendant I am naturally fascinated because you're uncovering my ancestors and relatives history. Thank you! Keep up the great work!

[@buddyduddyful]

As well as the greater traditionalylEuro-American people's.

[@Mike_Greentea]

Quit lying!

[@cyndicook7755]

Same here! My 10th great grandparents are buried there. To think we get to see what they saw all those hundreds of years ago.

[@lesjones5684]

Please don’t lie lol 😅😅😅

[@randomvintagefilm273]

​@lesjones5684 there are tens of thousands of Americans that are descendants of these people. You just showed your stupidity

[@egverlander]

A very well-presented episode in its facts, logic, historical clarity, and archeological explanation. Thank you very much!

[@whiterabbit-wo7hw]

This is Great! Thank you! To be able to find a walkway by accident is really a find!

[@Jamcam99]

Very interesting and expertly analysed and explained. It’s amazing to think that’s where my ancestors who left the British isles all those years ago first settled in their new life.

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

Amazing find and great explanation for the lay person!

[@TubeYouJet]

I always look forward to your videos.

[@Fiatshredder]

Great stuff. Fascinating!

[@FermentDpickles]

Fascinating, thank you!!

[@jayjay269]

Finding something like this just reminds you that no matter how much you think you know about a particular place, there is always something new just to be found just around the corner.

[@racecar2933]

Makes you wonder, as the first settlers stepped foot on land, they would be evaluated on how they lived life. Kinda makes you wonder if that will happen to "us" 500 years from now. Highly doubt it, but still neat to think about.

[@morrispridgen]

Ive always regretted not studying archeology in college....what a cool career to have

[@jbelme1]

Archaeologists are Anthropologists with an extra degree. Both are awesome & rewarding career paths.

[@hrhdianednum7203]

I know what you mean I would love to see what I could discover and explanation for what was found or profiler to take information piece by piece and then usually figure out what really happened!

[@nancyhooper7715]

I’m too!

[@i.p.956]

I've got an anthropology degree and I was considering doing archaeology after but I didn't, I went to study marketing and I regret that every day

[@zzyzxRDFwy15]

You can get your new career started by excavating around my old outhouse. I'm sure you'll find a lot of interesting things there to talk about on KZbin.

[@maryg.249]

Wow! How exciting to have found this latest information! I’m in agony because you aren’t investigating it NOW!!! Yet, I understand why you can’t. Oh well, I’m subscribed so I won’t miss it when the time is right to do so. Great video, great find! Thanks for sharing!

[@BlueMoonShelly]

So very interesting and informative. I learned so much ! Thank You All!

[@johnshoosmith]

Keep the great vids coming! Fascinating.

[@geibenbedivan3433]

Very nice work. Very exciting to follow your professional work and it’s stories behind. Can’t wait to follow your journey through time. Best wishes and greetings from Germany 👏

[@jbelme1]

My son’s 7th grade class is reading/studying a book called “Written In Bone, Buried Lives of Jamestown & Colonial Maryland” by Sally M. Walker. It’s an interesting read. Our ancestors were the Swans who settled Swan’s Point/1640.

[@imthemuddgoddess3152]

I enjoy watching especially when I'm homesick ....

[@cmpe43]

Very cool, thank you.

[@Broadway789]

Fascinating explanation.

[@audreyann1975]

I love this stuff. I love the European settlements that they tell us about. Such wonderful knowledge. I wish I went into this line of work!

[@buddyduddyful]

There is so much buried history that is yet to be discovered, ancient civilization's that are waiting to be uncovered.

[@clarkrobertson7982]

Really fascinating!

[@rydplrs71]

I do really appreciate the video and discovery with documentation. In my limited experience with 200-250yr old chimney bricks, those were a+ grade surviving like that below ground and exposed to ground moisture. Second mortar that rots out leave chickenpox of mortar and sand. If the mortar is solid it comes off clean or takes a lamination of brick. I would say the probability is the bricks are new. As far as quality. Anyone along the chain of command might be the cause of the method selection.

[@TheMrdavidlangley]

Nice job!

[@jaywinters2483]

great job

[@JohnRobinson-vp5do]

Your work is fascinating to me. Keep it up. Please explore the remains in the original top soil level in the church yard. Has to be some interesting discoveries there.

[@markmoody703]

I can't believe it gets that far down in the topsoil over the years that's how much it builds up to me it's fascinating

[@kirkmorrison6131]

One of my ancestors was an early settler. I find this fascinating. Btw a good number of his descendants are still in Virginia

[@racecar2933]

Very fascinating! I wonder if someone will dig in that exact spot several centuries later and wonder how and why that hole is there. Of course, if the information on hand now is lost in time.

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

HOW much would it cost & HOW would I go about getting the grave plots on EACH side of my GGparents ground penetrating survey? I would like to be buried beside them but have NO idea if those locations are vacant, there are NO markers or signs of previous burials, it is a rural cemetery with no apparent records other than personal surveys

[@kimberly_erin]

So exciting!

[@stardustgirl2904]

🇺🇸❤🇺🇸🌹💜❤🇺🇸SAVING AMERICA A LITTLE AT A TIME!🙏

[@SandyzSerious]

Thank you.

[@milliebanks7209]

Wonderful! How do I watch these vids in order? Thanks..

[@airlux3596]

I’m actually related to Reverend Robert Hunt! So that is how I found out about this, it’s interesting to actually see one of my ancestors!

[@PetiteKeyboardist]

Do you think the bricks circled the base of a tree?

[@marcharsveld2914]

Nope. The growing treeroot pushed the bricks aside.

[@alcapon-o3f]

So since you guys couldn't and didn't want to give permission for excavation when someone followed clues to a treasure vault located in that church , when are you going to excavate that or has it already been done and taken?

[@GrungeHistory]

The company I worked for from Hampton Virginia we did a lot I mean 90% of the brick paver work in Williamsburg/James county and I would also say a paver walk way but it's weird how they're laying on their sides but other than that it makes sense

[@bearmanroar7117]

just shows us how hard things from 1000 let alone 2000 years ago is hard to find. and humans have been alive for what, 20,000 years?

[@timedwards8944]

Man I've run across similar stuff like this in and around Atlanta Georgia but I don't know if it was old burial sites or not I would be just digging with a shovel for a foundation or something never give it a second thought to why there was bricks there soft bricks at that like mud bricks they were actually softer than the soil around them???

[@Fatbodypyle]

Isnt grave robbery illegal ?

[@laurasteif86]

Is that a ground hog hole in there?

[@Brian-zp1df]

USA baby!

[@johnl1685]

Those bricks could have just been curving around a big tree that was there.

[@theskyehiker]

American archeologists get excited by things that would be in someone’s back garden in England, or other places across the pond. I don’t blame them as this the time and place they chose to study but……….. It isn’t necessarily ground breaking information.

[@doriandemon5444]

Jamestown? with an "e"?

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

As a JS member, I am fascinated to see any information related to my ancestors.

[@raunchyrarebit]

You are a colonizer responsible for genocide

[@patrickbush9526]

If Dat was my neighborhood bess cover dem back up fast if you don't want one through duh car window

[@dallastaylor5479]

Please ditch the trailer, it's way too long.

[@johnbaldock6353]

So what you're saying is even in the 17th/18th century Builders were Cowboys!!🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@elainerussell924]

I will save you time and money !!! Bricks. Dirt. Bones. Ok !!!! Put your time and money on something of more value !!!!!

[@darrenjones9180]

Sorry ,about the language, they just made me so mad

[@jonBrown-k4p]

Science? Seems rather ghoulish to me, there are better things to dig for...

[@emmettbenedum8127]

Boring
