Written in Bone: Buried Lives of Jamestown and Colonial Maryland

Sally M. Walker (2009), 144 pages
Audience: 4th Grade - 8th Grade
Category: Nonfiction
Sally Walker has always been fascinated by the study of how people used to live. She had the opportunity to join scientists as they studied the colonists of Jamestown and surrounding areas, not by the things they left behind, but by studying their skeletons. The shape of the skull, the condition of the teeth and even the color of the earth around them each tell another part of their story. Join Ms. Walker as she discovers the fascinating stories of these colonists from the very rich buried in lead coffins inside a church to an indentured servant whose remains were found in the family's garbage heap.
