  The Brownstone Journal
After the inconclusive excavations from the 1930s through the 1950s, the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities became reluctant to have archaeologists conduct further destructive digs on their portion of Jamestown Island, which coincidentally were the 22 ½ acres in the vicinity of the 1639 church tower and Confederate earthwork.
Archaeology must be accessible to the public, and archaeologists must make an effort to educate the public and involve them as much as possible through public outreach.
