In trying to understand life in the colonies, and knowing the best history comes from interpreting primary sources, we experience an archeological dig from Williamsburg. Constructed from actual artifacts from the colonial town, we tried to hypothesize the relationship between the objects. First we analyzed the artifacts by looking closely and measuring them. Then, using primary source photos and advertisements, we began to identify the artifacts. Finally, we built hypotheses about what could have existed in the area 250 years ago. Our next step, researching interesting trades.
