JAMESTOWN, Va. — Archaeologists at America’s first permanent English settlement have reported the discovery of what they say are four significant finds.
The director of archaeology at Historic Jamestowne, William Kelso, identified the most significant find as an early-17th-century copper pendant depicting a Powhatan Indian. He said it is significant because there are so few depictions of Virginia Indians from that period.
The other finds announced Monday are a solid gold ring probably once worn by one of Virginia’s first assemblymen, a brass ornamental counterweight and a medallion commemorating the English knighting of a Dutch prince.
