Recent updates to the Plymouth Colony Archive Project web site include
reports on Derek Wheeler's continuing excavations at the seventeenth
century Howland site in Kingston, Massachusetts, available at:

<http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/users/deetz/Plymouth/material.html>

This web site also includes materials you can use in educational
exercises, including: links to a number of lesson plans; illustrations and
text concerning seventeenth century architectural forms; a detailed
photographic tour to illustrate Jim Deetz and Edwin Dethlefsen's study of
stylistic changes in grave art, entitled "Death's Head, Cherub, Urn and
Willow"; text and photographic illustrations of Deetz's findings of
evidence indicating elements of African-American architectural and
mortuary traditions at the Parting Ways site in Plymouth County; and an
expanded collection of historic-period maps of Plymouth and the New
England region.

We welcome all comments and suggestions of how we can better present the
materials we have made available and what additional materials you would
like to see added.

Thanks,
Chris
