rchaeologists digging in a well found at the original fort at Historic Jamestowne say they've found seeds, insects, bones and artifacts from early Virginia settlers.
The well's contents might shed light on the environmental conditions and the culture of the people who came to Virginia 400 years ago.
The well was found last fall in a corner of the site of the original Jamestowne fort. After the colonists stopped getting water from it, they filled the hole with trash and built the governor's house on top.
The well will be excavated weekly, and visitors can watch as items are brought up. Video monitors also will allow visitors to look inside the well.
That's the whole thing.
Update: Way more here.
