Digging Up the Truth About Jamestown (NPR)

From NPR News (Weekend Edition Saturday, January 2, 2007; by Thomas Pierce):

Dr. Bill Kelso first came to James Island decades ago as an aspiring archaeologist. At the time, the fort was believed to have eroded into the James River. Since breaking ground in 1994, Kelso has uncovered the fort , numerous skeletons and thousands of artifacts.

“They told me if you’re looking for the fort, you’re too late. It’s long gone, washed away. I actually was standing in the fort as it turned out.”
