John Smith's well: Time lapse excavation
From April to December of 2009 archaeologists with the Jamestown Rediscovery project at Historic Jamestowne in Virginia unearthed what was likely Jamestown's first well inside the center of James Fort. Captain John Smith himself likely ordered the construction of this well in late 1608 or early 1609. This well was nearly 16 feet deep and located below the floor of a cellar. The following video represents a time-lapse of that nine-month period of excavation.
