Flowerdew One Hundred: The Archaeology of a Virginia Plantation, 1619–1864
James Deetz
Here is the story of Flowerdew Hundred, the 1,000-acre plantation Sir George Yeardley, Virginia’s first governor, established on the south side of the James River roughly halfway between present-day Richmond and Williamsburg. The succession of its residents, from colonial times through the nineteenth century, left behind a record of their passing in the form of broken dishes and bottles, animal bones, building foundations, pipe stems, and a wealth of other material. Deetz draws on these artifacts to construct some 250 years of life at Flowerdew.
