Young Jamestown colonist likely killed in combat with Virginia Indians: A look back

[@kellydiver]

I’m touched that this boy’s life and those of the other colonists will not be forgotten. Your updates really humanize that part of history.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

That poor boy, he suffered his entire short life. Having an infection in your mouth is god-awful, and to die that way....tragically sad.

[@eddierandolph3354]

Thank you for your efforts in doing these updates.

[@abigailedenjoy5863]

Love these videos! So fascinating!

[@whiterabbit-wo7hw]

These are so priceless and the information incredible. Thank you so much for the work that you're doing. That young boy had a hard life.

[@Canopus68]

The point found with the boy is very similar to two I found in Northern VA. I was working as a Field Tech doing cultural artifact clearance for a building new project.

[@californiadreamin8423]

I’m always impressed by how articulate these presentations are….and how interesting they are. From across the pond.

[@maryg.249]

I find all you do there at Jamestown extremely fascinating. Keep up the great work. Thank you for making the effort to keep us informed. Your hard work is appreciated. Mary

[@davidbloughsr8165]

Brings all the “Subterfuge” of the (the whiting of America) out in the ☀️ light. Nothing like the truth to confirm the past !

[@glendaquick9290]

Thank you for the work you are doing and sharing. If I could make a suggestion, please pause to show the artifacts longer. We barely get to see them and if we wanted to study the find, a longer shot would be great. Thanks again.

[@richardmeador4304]

Over ten years of visiting and listening to your talks, I am still fascinated by the findings and look forward to visiting soon. Maybe you will be around. No more drone incidents I hope (few years ago). Keep up the fine work Danny.

[@gwaine]

Enjoyed it Danny...thank you.

[@effeojnedib7208]

Thanks for your video. I live in JCC, and enjoy visiting all the historical locations, Jamestown being my favorite.

[@SandyzSerious]

Thank you.

[@richardsims1805]

Well done!! I'm impressed with the detail the archeologists' exhibit in these videos. I've visited Jamestown in my youth when very little of you've discovered was available for viewing.

[@charstanley8300]

Awesome info in every video that y'all do!! Good work, Danny!

[@johnshoosmith]

Great job! We'll done Sir! Great that you could articulate so well on the fly

[@michaelratliff9449]

Appreciate this, Thank you!

[@davewoodworth1762]

Brilliant video and detective work.

[@snoozeyoulose9416]

Very good.

[@jbelme1]

My son (7th grade) read the historical fiction book, “Blood On The River”, by Elisa Carbone, for his social studies class. It’s plot was based on the young boy’s life I believe.

[@allanjoyce2753]

Do you ever try to extract DNA from the teeth, and find possible relative descendants?

[@meganmcdonald3333]

So much information my history loving side enjoys this. Right now I looking into the British Colonies and Roanoke is one of the main colonies I'm researching as of now since I'm living in NC but I do plan on visiting the Jamestown Colony since it was one of Britain's most successful colonies and I enjoyed reading the history in my freshman year. Knowing that Jamestown was the 2nd Colony to be established by the Virginia Compony was mind blowing and my father told history books in different states never tells us the whole story.

[@robertwilkins8357]

So amazing they were found and have learned so much!

[@catman8670]

Closest thing to a time machine

[@PDGreen-ec7ss]

Great history, but I couldn't find the link to the cemetery. I do alot of genealogy would love to find a list of passengers and deaths/burials?

[@user-ks5cg5cd7m]

Poor young man. Life was so hard. Lord keep him.

[@Susan.I]

Thank you for your work in Jamestown.

[@scottnyc6572]

Must’ve been a horrible grisly death.They had to pretend they were more than they were actually. They should’ve stuck together.

[@kenj.8897]

Young lad that had a hard life . We have it so easy . Stop belly aching because your burger was over cooked .

[@sadie21962]

Do I understand correctly that all remains found in this excavation are still buried at the cross locations? So this is a "cemetery."

[@ayleabutler6285]

Thank you for this fascinating archaeological study. I’ve always found Pocahontas interesting and pulled to her. Then years later I was doing some genealogy and found two great uncles who said Pocahontas was their 6th great grandmother. Which would make her my 13th great grandmother. 😊

[@victoriarobinson6793]

Would running DNA be helpful?

[@litt222]

He's now in the museum at Jamestown settlement

[@tinmanx2222]

Always interesting presentations. Thanks.

[@calvinboykin4777]

This looks like it might be a casting mold form for duplicating metal parts such as gun parts etc. by pouring molten metal into the hole on top and thus into a void in the shape of the object to be made, i. e the spru hole.

[@kenj.8897]

Just think of all the work they could do at Jamestown if the government threw money at them like they throw at useless crap

[@exodusbby4546]

Why are these sites refilled in after excavating?

[@dandrews8687]

Could bone marrow DNA from these 400 year old remains be submitted to any of the genetics companies like AncestryDNA and the like, to see who may currently be possibly related to the colonists?

[@DancingChicken-w8v]

I believe that that process is well underway now. In another video, the narrator stated that DNA analysis has been undertaken on at least one of the persons buried on the Jamestowne site.

[@jaydubbyuh2292]

These people died trying to settle our land. They died of disease and wounds were buried in hasty unmarked graves to keep there deaths a secret from the hostile tribes, and then houses & buildings were built over top of them. In the struggle to develop our community and civilization these brethren and sisters were forgotten. How amazing is the skill of the archaeologist that have found them., And are, in many cases, able to identify the individuals. We can tell them in glory when we meet again that they were not forgotten and that they did not die in vain. Almighty heartfelt salute of praise and honor goes out to Mr Kelso and all of those who work with him.

[@thomasfoss9963]

I enjoyed the video as I am an amateur archaeologist, but you were wrong on one major point--- The colonists were trying to settle on Native American lands--- Not OUR land-----

[@jaydubbyuh2292]

@@thomasfoss9963 I have had some limited dealings with the descendants of Wahunsonacock & Opecancanough. None were honest, but two-faced. I traded 2 lb of crab meat for an external speaker that a Chickahominy had for trade. After he ate his crab meat, and s*** it out several days later, he wanted his speaker back. As the first hand accounts of the settlers attest-to, some of the tribes were friendly & honest but most were stereotypical "Indian-giving" savages. Opecancanough planned, for years, his massacres of 1622 and 1644. We had our first lesson in racial integration when our corporate sponsors, back in England, wanted us to intermingle / integrate with the savages for the sake of their money, (but in disobedience to God's law to remain separate from these people). They were going to prayer meetings with us, and worshiping Jesus with us, & sleeping in our homes telling us how much they loved us. However, when the sun got to a certain point in the sky on March 22nd 1622 they tried to wipe us out, regardless of sex or age. This undisputable fact, of their modus operandi, was reference by our Founders in our Declaration of Independence. It is worthy to mention that some tribes were friendly and loyal to us, and should be given due honor. No one will argue that the Federal Govt, dealt treacherously with the tribes & nations of Indians, as it grew into the tyrannical monstrosity that dealt treacherously, and attacked the Southern States, in 1861. Most of the honest tribes sided with the South bc of mutual hatred of the tyrannical Fed.Govt. But when we settled Virginia and the Eastern Seaboard, there were just enough indigenous heathens for GOD to use, with which to chastise us. How do you explain that in one moment, the Powhatans were lurking to capture, then torture & kill you just outside the gates of James Fort - then the next day, bringing you food to keep you from starvation???? It was the hand of GOD. Unlike modern hypocrite historians, I would say honestly, that if I were a Powhatan tribesman back then, and believed my priests and wise men, I would be trying to kill the colonists. And at the same time if I was a colonist I'd be trying to kill me some hostile Powhatans. For those that truly accepted Christ we are brethren in Christ now. But I will not be ashamed by self-hating liberal retards for trying to settle my new Homeland claimed by my king.

[@cousinsgrimm7952]

Please give me a job!! I’ve been recovering relics for 15 years !

[@delbertz.osborne9793]

Historians new about Jamestown and it was kept out of the history books. Sense Columbus gets credit for discovering this land. Even though Indians were already here which makes the claim that Columbus discovered this land and declared property to Spain 🇪🇸 That didn't even belong to him. I'm finding difficulty too find pride in having European blood in me. And finding more pride in my Cherokee bloodline, and finding my empathy growing for all Western Indiana Nations. We were not invited guests 😒 As far as thoes killed in jamestown, you more than likely can think the Spanish for that.

[@benitagrattan193]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@stephaniemartin7220]

It would be really something if the boy JR 102c turns out to be Captain John Martin's son John Martin Jr., Gentleman who died from an attack in the early years of Jamestown. His wikitree is www.wikitree.com/wiki/Martin-18269 and according to scholarly articles found on JSTOR, Captain John Martin of the Brandon on the James and Captain John Martin: Ancient Planter, his son was born around 1594, which would make him about 14 years old when he died in Jamestown.

[@johnbaldock6353]

So we invaded your land claiming it our own and you kill us! HOW RUDE!🤣🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@marionroark8237]

It's called we conquered the land, idiot

[@randomvintagefilm273]

We won, get over it
