James Fort, 1983, undated
Scope and Contents
Two studies regarding the location of Fort James on Jamestown Island prior to its discovery by William Kelso. In a 1983 unpublished study, archaeologist Ivor Noel Hume offers a “reexamination of the documentary and interpretive evidence” for the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, and suggests it may be downstream. Virginia S. Harrington, a historian and archaeologist, presents “Theories and Evidence for the Location of James Fort” in an article published in The Virginia Magazine (date not noted), suggests two possible locations.
