Noel Hume, a resident archeologist rt with Colonial Williamsburg, and his assistants have uncovered hundreds of artifacts at Carter's Grove on two sites dating from about ltUfi to 1645. One of the most unusual finds is a dish inscribed 1631, probably the earliest dated piece of American pottery yet found. The work at Carter's Grove is revealing new knowledge about the household effects and the life styles of early settlers from England, and is supported by the National Geographic Society.
