Hello Fellow Histarchers:
Two of the best sites (relatively recent excavations:
early 1990s) from this period of VA history are
Jordan's Point (44PG302) and Paspehegh (44JC308). The
44PG302 reports were by the Virginia Commonwealth
University Archaeological Research Center, and the
44JC308 report was produced by the James River
Institute for Archaeology, Inc. Reviewing those
should provide a solid idea of what a
protohistoric/contact period site assemblage from
along the James River should look like.
The reports are CRM gray lit (very limited
distribution), but copies are on file at the Virginia
Department of Historic Resources in Richmond, VA.
A sizable chunk of the recent Turner and Rountree book
(2002) summarizes the info presented in these two
reports (along with many other things), and is
somewhat easier to get a hold of.
