Archaearium Virtual Tour

Thanks to support from the National Endowment for the Humanities you can now visit the Archaearium online. The award-winning archaeological museum displays thousands of artifacts just feet away from where they were excavated. The tour was created and is narrated by Dr. Charles (Chuck) Durfor, Senior Staff Archaeologist with Jamestown Rediscovery.

We are grateful to the National Endowment for the Humanities without whose support this tour would not be possible.
