This guy was one of the first settlers of Jamestown 400 years ago. | FOG OF HISTORY

On this channel I show you real people who lived on our planet many years ago. For fans of Anthropology and History. Today I'm going to tell you about....

In August 2005, during excavations, archaeologists discovered a skeleton near the west wall of Fort Jamestown.

The grave was shallow and too short, causing the skull to rest against its eastern wall. Apparently, those who buried this man were in a great hurry.

The skeleton belonged to a young man, probably a teenager. The age of the deceased is about 15 years old. His height was 170 centimeters - quite tall for the time.

The condition of the bones spoke of physiological stress - iron deficiency, anemia, starvation. There was a fracture on the right clavicle that had not fully healed. The broken mandibular incisor had a large abscess that had destroyed much of the surrounding bone.

Finally, near the left femur was a triangular arrowhead made of quartzite, a typical early seventeenth-century Indian weapon. This tip had apparently embedded itself in the young man's thigh and caused severe bleeding, which could have resulted in death. -.
