Only one road identified by 17th-century references has been definitely
located by archeologists. This is the "Maine Cart Road," sometimes
called the "Greate Road," leading from Glasshouse Point across the
isthmus and onto the island, where it can be traced as far as its
passage into the main "James Citty" area just north of the brick church
and churchyard. A trace is all that remains of a road which once ran
east-west between parallel ditches, south of the row house.
The foregoing has been a summary of the physical aspect of the Jamestown
settlement from the standpoint of archeology. An account of the arts and
crafts revealed by the artifacts found in these explorations follows.
The whole story relating the settlers themselves to evidence they left
in the soil of Jamestown remains to be told.
