About this item

Search for a Century (1981, 59 minutes) This is Ivor Noel Hume's four-year archaeological discovery of Martin's Hundred Plantation, a seventeenth-century plantation that supplied many of the agricultural needs of colonial Williamsburg. Archaeologists excavated tens of thousands of whole and fragmentary objects, including the first-known physical evidence of the 1622 Indian uprising and pieces of armor never before found in America. See how these fragile items are lifted from the ground, restored, and interpreted in the laboratory. Extra Feature Doorway to the Past (1969, 29 minutes) Ivor Noel Hume takes viewers on a journey to several excavation sites in Colonial Williamsburg. You'll learn how experts date what they find and use laboratory processes to understand and protect the artifacts. All of this scientific analysis enables historians to bridge time by bringing the present into direct contact with the past.
