The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
A PBS “Secrets of the Dead” Original Documentary
“Jamestown’s Dark Winter”



BREWSTER, MA ­The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster presents PBS’ Secrets of the 
Dead documentary “Jamestown’s Dark Winter” 
Thursdays, October 12th & October 26, 2017 at 
11:30am during Massachusetts Archaeology Month.

Jamestown, Virginia. The site of the first 
permanent English colony the Americas settled in 
1607 and the home of the archaeological site 
“Historic Jamestowne” today. It has long been 
speculated that the harsh conditions faced by the 
colonists during the winter of 1609 might have 
made them desperate enough to participate in the unthinkable.

  Archaeologists have been excavating in 
Jamestown for more than 20 years and in April 
2012, a team of Historic Jamestowne archeologists 
discovered something surprising in their 
excavation: the remains of a young woman, dating 
back to 1609, buried in the trash layer of a 
cellar. Now, 400 years later, a cellar excavation 
has uncovered numerous bone fragments all 
belonging to this adolescent female. With the 
help of forensic anthropologists, the 
extraordinary and frightening story of this young woman comes to life.

Free with Museum Admission
