Uncovering Virginia’s Early Sites - A Glimpse Into Life In The 17th Century

Description: From the author: NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! For those of you that have not yet heard, here’s the official announcement for my newly published book that will become available very soon! Below is a summary of its purpose and contents along with pics of the cover plus a few random sample pages. Come along with the author, Bill Dancy, on an adventure back in time to search for and recover thousands of period artifacts through his latest book, Uncovering Virginia’s Early Sites - A Glimpse into Life in the 17th Century. This 362 page hardcover volume, again published and superbly laid out by Greybird Publishers, is printed on heavy, glossy stock and is packed with over 1200 hi-res color photos revealing a huge variety of artifacts, from the most common to the ultra-rare, that were lost or discarded by some of the original settlers as they lived and worked in the early days of the colony. The author’s second book contains virtually all-new material including over 40 informative sidebars that expand on a number of unusual and sometimes rarely seen artifacts and topics not addressed in his first book, Discovering Virginia’s Colonial Artifacts (2017). Some of the 17th century subject matter covered in great detail includes: · Black Glass Bottles & Seals · Ceramics · English & Chesapeake Clay Pipes · Hammered Coins, Jettons & Tokens · Lead Cloth Seals · Tools & Other Iron Artifacts · Household & Personal Items · Leather Ornaments & Horse Tack · Trash Pits · Brick Cellars & Wells The focus is on three large, prestigious sites that were situated along two major rivers in the Virginia Tidewater and first settled in the mid-1600s. A fourth section documents more than a dozen other early sites, mostly smaller yet still intriguing, plus the discovery of a long-lost church that all saw activity beginning in the 17th century. Learn more about life in early colonial Virginia through many exciting finds that are presented in a diary-like format with detailed summaries and personal observations along with accompanying photos in chronological order as each dig takes place. Detailed background information summarizing the history of each site and their original occupants is also provided to help set the stage for the remarkable recoveries that follow. You’ll certainly find this new publication to be just as educational and entertaining as the author’s first book, and it will certainly serve as another excellent addition to your reference library. The book is currently being printed and copies should be available by early-to-mid Sept if all goes well. Printed quantities will be limited so don’t miss out on the opportunity to get your copy before they disappear. In addition to being a must-have for diggers, it can also be a great Christmas gift idea for friends, family, collectors or anyone interested in early Virginia history. I also want to use this opportunity to thank everyone again for the great interest and support of my first book as it was a huge factor in my decision to take on this difficult task again. I hope this new publication will serve as an inspiration for those wishing to further expand their knowledge of early Virginia history and of the wide variety of artifacts used by some of the first inhabitants.
