Church and State: The Archaeology of the Foundations of Democracy summarizes the archaeological investigations of Jamestown's 1907 Memorial Church and historic 17th-century tower. The book recounts the team's search for Jamestown's 1617 Church, where Virginia's first General Assembly was held in 1619 and where democracy in America was born. During the three years of excavations, archaeologists not only discovered astounding features of the 1617 church as hoped, but also a number of burials, including a particularly mysterious one of a high-status individual. Through historical evidence, ground-breaking scientific techniques, and in-depth archaeology, Jamestown Rediscovery seeks to understand the hidden stories of our nation's past, buried deep where it all began. Church and State: The Archaeology of the Foundations of Democracy offers an inside perspective of the team's discoveries, allowing the reader a unique opportunity to be part of that investigative journey. --- Subjects: Jamestown Settlement.; Archaeology; Excavations (Archaeology); Church buildings; Cemeteries; Human remains (Archaeology);

- Angela : Jamestown and the first africans / by Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.Jamestown Rediscovery,author.; Summers, Mark,author.; Romo, Sean,author.; Hartley, Mary Anna,author. (CARDINAL)858332; Horn, James, 1953-author.;
"About the latter end of August" in 1619, the prominent planter-merchant John Rolfe reported, "20 and odd" Africans were forcibly brought to Point Comfort, at the mouth of the James River. Taken from their homeland in Angola by Portuguese slave traders and subsequently captured by English privateers in the Gulf of Mexico, these men and women were the First Africans in mainland English America. In their new book Angela: Jamestown and the First Africans, the Jamestown Rediscovery team chronicles the life of Angela-one of the Africans dwelling at Jamestown-as revealed through archaeology, history, and historical research. Listed in the household of Captain William Pierce in Jamestown in 1625, "Angela," like the other Africans who ended up in the colony, was a victim of brutal wars in West Central Africa. Angela and hundreds of other Angolans were put on board a slave ship bound for Veracruz, Mexico. En route, the ship was attacked by two English privateers who then sailed to Virginia, and afterwards Bermuda, to sell the Africans as enslaved laborers to wealthy tobacco planters. Once in English America, the Angolans survived, persisted, and adapted to an unfamiliar new world and in so doing changed the course of American history. --- Subjects: African Americans; Slavery; Virginia;
