Description

An established Native American settlement as early as 1200 CE, Werowocomoco―situated in Gloucester County, Virginia, along the York River―was once a secular and sacred seat of power of the current-day Virginia’s Algonquian people, whom the English would call the “Powhatan.” The site was once rediscovered in 2003. Only about 1 percent of the 50-acre site has been investigated; then again, in accordance with archaeological research conducted to this point, it seems that to be an unprecedented archaeological find for the eastern coastal region of the nation, and its significance to Virginia Indians today and our shared history is without parallel. Generously illustrated and informed by contemporary scholarship, this recent addition to the National Park Service Handbook series is a fascinating and concise history of the site, its rediscovery, and what contemporary archaeology tells us about Werowocomoco.
