- Vibracore expert Dr. Dave Leslie (TerraSearch Geophysical - terrasearchgeo..., Heritage Consultants - www.heritage-c..., and University of Connecticut - earthsciences....) and Jamestown Rediscovery’s Director of Archaeology, Dave Givens, describe the ongoing examination of the human occupation of Jamestown Island during the past 15,000 years. The current approach uses vibracoring to collect soil samples that are up to 10 feet below the Pitch and Tar Swamp.
Such studies can show the presence of and how the First Peoples lived on Jamestown Island as well as the arrival of early English settlers and later 19th century industrial manufacturing. Vibracore samples can create a timeline of the past history and predictions for the rate of future sea level rise that may submerge large parts of Jamestown Island. Through this video learn how soil core samples were prepared and see the first results of this study.

It's very interesting how Mother Earth will do her best to try and take back areas that were once used by humans and wild life in order to keep the balance between nature and man in order. I know there's a word for this balance, but I'm an old man and my brain isn't working tonight
These videos are so wonderful and informative.
Thank you.
These are always too short. Very interesting.
Agreed way too short this content is the best history lesson on UA-cam

Very exciting news! Will you take more core samples, or were those the only ones?
I can’t wait to hear the results of their studies of the samples taken.
As always a great informative video. Mary
Build a huge retaining wall and put a dome ceiling over it
Do you guys allow volunteers to help dig?
Isn't the island sinking?
It flooded up to 15 ft in 1675
So are you going to drain the area.
