9.On Tuesday,scientists announced that they have discovered the bones of four settlers in Jamestown,Virginia.Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what become the United States.The bones were unearthed under the floor of a Jamestown church which was discovered in 2010and is considered as America,s first Protestant church.The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History announced that the settlers held high leadership positions.The men,Rev.Robert Hunt,Capt.Gabriel Archer,Sir Ferdinando Wainman,and Capt.William West,all played a role in the Jamestown settlement.After being lost to history for more than 400 years,the discovery of their remains provides new clues about their life and the importance of religion in the 1600s.
"This is a very important discovery,"Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation President James Horn said in a statement."These men were among the first founders of English America."
About 100people settled along the James River in what would become the first English settlement m 1607.During that time,settlers in Jamestown were faced with famine and disease The colony was nearly wiped out due to conflict with Native Americans in the area and with other English settlers.
"They lived and died at a hard time in the history of the settlement,when Jamestown almost ended in failure,"Horn said."The bones of these men help fill in the stories of their lives"
The Smithsonian and the Rediscovery Foundation found the remains in November of 2013.Scientists used 3-D technology to locate the exact gravesites of the men.The team wanted to identify its findings before announcing the discovery.They identified the men using historical records and studied the chemicals of the bones to learn what the men ate and where they came from.
Findings from the burials will go on display within weeks at Historic Jamestowne.The site also plans to honor the men and will keep their bones in a safe place for future study.
