	Is it Gosnold? APVA Preservation Virginia Archaeologists Seek Matching DNA--Historic Jamestowne
		In 2003, Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA Preservation Virginia) archaeologists announced the discovery of the remains of a high-ranking male colonist who was buried ceremoniously just outside the 1607 James Fort site at Historic Jamestowne in Jamestown, Virginia.
		Based on a chain of physical and historical evidence, Dr. William Kelso, APVA director of archaeology, said the remains appear to be those of Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, principal promoter and vice admiral leader of the Jamestown Colony.
		APVA Preservation Virginia archaeologists were able to recover and conserve enough of the ceremonial object to identify that the wooden shaft was about 5 ft. long and 1/2 inch in diameter.

	The Brownstone Journal
		The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA) received 22 ½ acres of land on Jamestown Island, including the 1639 church tower, from the Barney family in 1893.
		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.
		Kelso went to the APVA in 1993 with a proposal to comprehensively excavate their property in the hopes of making substantial archaeological contributions to the upcoming 400th anniversary celebration of Jamestown's founding in 2007.

		In November 1958 the APVA authorized the organization of the Montgomery County branch for the specific purpose of acquiring and restoring Smithfield Plantation, the historic home near Blacksburg in Montgomery County, Virginia, built by William Preston in 1773.

		George Green Shackelford, a professor of history from 1954 to 1986 (now Emeritus) at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or Virginia Tech, which is adjacent to the Smithfield property, spearheaded the restoration by forming the Montgomery County branch and adopting the project of preserving and restoring the Smithfield residence.

	History Net-A Brief History of Jamestown, Virginia
		But there was no gold in Virginia, and these "prospectors" didn't know how to farm, didn't know how to hunt, and--possibly feeling betrayed by the Virginia Company's promises, and lacking any land of their own--were not known for their spirit of cooperation either among themselves, nor with the local Indians of the Powhatan confederacy.
		This act is credited with bringing 8 years of peace with the Indians, a period when the energies of the colonists could be devoted to the growing of its new cash crop--which indeed was soon to become the New World's currency.
		In 1635, at the age of 20, Thomas returned to Virginia to reclaim his birthrights--both English ("Varina," the plantation--named for a variety of tobacco--on which he was born) and Indian, as his grandfather Powhatan had left him thousands of acres all around Jamestown.

		Archaeologists trying to exhume the remains of the sister of one of the founders of the first permanent English settlement in North America have found what they believe is her 400-year-old burial shaft and hope to find her body soon.
		They want to use DNA from the remains to find out whether a skeleton unearthed in Virginia is that of Capt. Bartholemew Gosnold, who oversaw an expedition that led to the founding of Jamestown in 1607.
		A 17th-century skeleton found two years ago near Jamestown was buried with a decorative staff carried by sea captains and is the right age to be Gosnold's, said William Kelson, director of archaeology at the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
