I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

19. JAMESA_180603_134.JPG: Surrey-Hampshire Border Ware Drinking Jug Amazingly, archaeologists found this jug unbroken in the bulwark ditch. Dating to the early 17th century, it was made in England by potteries along the border for Hampshire and Surrey counties. These thin-walled earthenware jugs, commonly used for drinking beer, rarely survived long after they were made. The drinking jug, like many other artifacts, indicated the archaeologists were digging on early 17th-century site.

Locally made by Robert Cotton of Virginia clay, they represent a distinguished group of courtiers, investors, and adventurers. Cotton pipes mimic native Algonquin forms produced in the Chesapeake region, but they are decorated with European stamps traditionally used in bookbinding. Before firing, Cotton individualized these pipes by printing the names with lead type.

53. JAMESA_180603_398.JPG: The colonists found no freshwater springs on Jamestown Island and, in the beginning, drank water from the tidal James River. Salt in the river water may have caused a variety of illnesses. There was no well on the island until late 1608 when John Smith reports digging "a faire Well of fresh water in the Fort of excellent sweet water which till then was wanting."

61. JAMESA_180603_448.JPG: Survival Cannibalism
62. JAMESA_180603_452.JPG: Examination of the skull identified multiple chops and cuts from at least two different sharp, metal implements, such as a cleaver or small hatchet, and a knife. The pattern of blows and cuts reflects a concerted effort to remove soft tissue and the brain. The bones of this young woman are evidence that in the face of slow death by starvation, some in the colony resorted to cannibalism to survive.

Their bodies lie along the ridge beyond this cross, in the earliest known burial ground of the English in America. "These are they which came out of great tribulation." -- Revelation VII:VIV Erected by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities 1957
73. JAMESA_180603_528.JPG: These foundations were discovered & identified in 1903 by Samuel H. Yonge, Designer of the sea-wall & author of "The Site of "Olde Jamestowne," 1607-1698." Placed by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, 1907.

Wikipedia Description: Historic Jamestown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Historic Jamestown is the cultural heritage site that was the location of the 1607 James Fort and the later 17th-century town of Jamestown in America. It is located on Jamestown Island, on the James River at Jamestown, Virginia and operated as a partnership between Preservation Virginia (formerly known as the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) and the U.S. National Park Service as part of Colonial National Historical Park.

The site was designated Jamestown National Historic Site on December 18, 1940, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. It was also designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark in 2007 by the American Chemical Society. It is adjacent and complementary with Jamestown Settlement, a living history museum built run by the Commonwealth of Virginia to interpret the early colony.
