1. The first object discovered on the dig site was what seemed to be a small coin. The metal seemed to be silver with a diameter of approximately an inch. By observing and researching the engravings on the coin my guess would be the coin is in the time frame between 1606-1607, which was the rule of James I.
2. The second object found on the dig site was a piece of bone by further examination of the bone we concluded that it came from a horse in the year 1609. By the study of documents we found that the first horses were brought to the America in 1609. By examining the butchery marks on the bone we derived the conclusion that the horses became food for the colonists over the following winter which is known as starving time.
3. The third object found was a white clay pipe which dates to be around the 1600s around the time of the settlement of Jamestown. These pipes were used to smoke tobacco. The pipe measures about 6 inches in length.
4. The fourth object we found was what seemed to be the remains of a jug, by further examination of the jug we concluded the jug was made of pottery and more specifically the type of pottery known as stoneware. The art work on the jug shows us that it was made between 1600-1610.
5. The fifth and final object found was an iron nail, more specifically it was a wrought iron nail found made after the 16th century. This was concluded by examining other dig sites and cross checking our other artifacts and the date they were made in.

Also there is a somewhat pit towards the backside of the remains which suggests a cellar. A further analysis of where artifacts were found suggests that the windows and doors
