When his friends buried Capt. Gabriel Archer here
about 1609, they dug his grave inside a church, lowered his coffin into the
ground and placed a sealed silver box on the lid. This English outpost was then a desperate place. The "starving time," they called it. Dozens had died
of hunger and disease. Sur› vivors were walking skel› etons, besieged by Native Americans, and reduced to eating snakes, dogs and one another. The tiny, hexagonal box, etched with the letter "M," contained seven bone
fragments and a small lead vial, and probably was an object of veneration, cher› ished as disaster closed in on the colony.
On Tuesday, more than 400 years after the mysteri› ous box was buried, James›
town Rediscovery and the Smithsonian Institution announced that archaeolo›
gists have found it, as well as the graves of Archer and three other VIPs. "It’s the most remarkable
