The first domestic settlement, the Maine, is one of the earliest historic sites yet excavated in the Chesapeake region. It appears to have been occupied during the dying gasps of Virginia company control. The study of the site and artifacts shows that the Maine barely survived its first decade. Insubstantial dwellings, portable goods, and casual disposal of the dead suggest the impermanence of the settlement and lend credence to the historians' 'Boomtown' theory for the 1620s. The terminal dates of recovered artifacts show that his early 'subberb' of Jamestown expired shortly after the Indian massacre of 1622.

The Archaeology of Martin's Hundred explores the history and artifacts of a 20,000-acre tract of land in Tidewater, Virginia, one of the most extensive English enterprises in the New World. Settled in 1618, all signs of its early occupation soon disappeared, leaving no trace above ground. More than three centuries later, archaeological explorations uncovered tantalizing evidence of the people who had lived, worked, and died there in the seventeenth century. Part I: Interpretive Studies addresses four critical questions, each with complex and sometimes unsatisfactory answers: Who was Martin? What was a hundred? When did it begin and end? Where was it located? We then see how scientific detective work resulted in a reconstruction of what daily life must have been like in the strange and dangerous new land of colonial Virginia. The authors use first-person accounts, documents of all sorts, and the treasure trove of artifacts carefully unearthed from the soil of Martin's Hundred. Part II: Artifact Catalog illustrates and describes the principal artifacts in 110 figures. The objects, divided by category and by site, range from ceramics, which were the most readily and reliably datable, to glass, of which there was little, to metalwork, in all its varied aspects from arms and armor to rail splitters' wedges, and, finally, to tobacco pipes. The Archaeology of Martin's Hundred is a fascinating account of the ways archaeological fieldwork, laboratory examination, and analysis based on lifelong study of documentary and artifact research came together to increase our knowledge of early colonial history. Copublished with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

The history of early English delftware is also the first chapter in the chronicle of Britain's modern ceramic industry. To collectors of English pottery, examples of seventeenth-century delftware provide uninhibited splashes of color unequaled among the wares of later years; to this historical archaeologist reaching into the shadows of the past, shattered delftware dishes, mugs, porringers, and even chamber pots provide lanterns to light his way.

When Great Britain colonized Virginia in 1607, the area's substantial indigenous population consisted chiefly of the Powhatan Indians, a confederation of Algonquian tribes. By the middle of the 17th century, however, most of the Indian settlements in the upper valleys of the James and Rappahannock rivers had been abandoned. By the same token, few if any Indians remained in the Virginia Piedmont as early as 1675. The purpose of this work is to offer a comprehensive summary, prior to the Indians' disappearance, of all manner of life and culture of the Algonquians and the other tribes known to have inhabited 17th-century Virginia. When John Smith arrived in Virginia in 1607, Chief Powhatan had brought under his control more than 30 Algonquian tribes. Professor McCary begins with a description of the principal tribes within the Powhatan confederation, such as the Nansemond, Pamunkey, Pissaseck, and so on. The author's primary focus thereafter is with the social organization of the indigenous population, and the topics covered are legion: village structure, housing, foods, hunting and fishing methods, tobacco cultivation and usage, ornamentation and decoration, tools, pottery and furniture, implements and weapons, methods of warfare, music and games, marriage and burial customs, crime and punishment, religious beliefs, seasons and festivals, and more. Supporting the narrative are a number of detailed line drawings made by John White, a member of the ill-fated English colony on Roanoke Island, Virginia, in 1585, an essay devoted to Virginia prehistory and archaeology, and a helpful bibliography.

The chief archaeologist of Colonial Williamsburg shows how the discoveries made at colonial America sites have helped dramatically to fill in the gaps in the documentary history. The author tells the archaeological story of colonial Virginia by describing the excavations at Roanoke Island, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, and by revealing to us the treasures of two "lost plantations." Its chief attraction lies in the rich picture it gives of the intimacies of colonial life. The author reveals how the archaeologist marries the clues which the excavations provide to the written historical record to arrive at new levels of understanding about how our colonial ancestors lived.

Changes in research strategy over time are discussed , and recommendations are made concerning the need to recognize the diverse and often differing roles and impacts that characterized the different regions of Virginia over the course of its historic past. Significant issues in Virginia history needing greater study are identified.
