While it has been easy to acknowledge the connections between Jamestown and Bermuda in terms of the similar groups of people who traversed these respective landscapes, an archaeological account of the Bermuda/Jamestown connection is more challenging. An examination of the first public buildings at Jamestown and the Town of St. George will contribute to the narratives of Atlantic Landscapes from an archaeological perspective. Public sites are where people interacted. Furthermore, these spaces are the nexus of larger networks that stretch beyond Bermuda and Jamestown.
