http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16277/16277-h/16277-h.htm, this is a Ebook from Cotter and Hudson and is a wealth of items, weapons, housing, pottery, you name it but this is a real handy resource for anything from the 1602-1699. If you can find this book buy it.

Looks good, and I saved the file, but its old news. There's the ongoing Jamestowne Rediscovery Project, headed by William Kelso, and you can see something of it at:

Jamestowne Rediscovery

Most notably, the original 1607 fort has been found (it was not washed away by the James as they thought back in 1957), either a murder victim or a victim of friendly fire has been found...and maybe they have the remains of Barthelemew Gosnold, seadog and colonizer.

When they published this, 50 years ago, they still assumed that the fort had eroded into the river. Since then they found it. It is so close to the existing church that the church bell tower is in the middle of one wall.

Still, that doesn't invalidate any of the artifacts shown.
