Abstract
The ground surrounding a late 17th century tombstone in James City County, Virginia, was tested to determine if it was the location of Martin’s Hundred Parish Church, ca. 1630 to ca. 1710. The excavators found burials in two different alignments and a post hole line which they identified as the church yard boundary fence. Datable artifacts suggested an occupation ending in the early 18th century; window glass and lead probably came from the church. Because the site was heavily overgrown with grass and brush, soil core sampling was used to reveal the extent and layout of burials. The core sampling technique was extremely effective, and the excavators urge its use on similar sites.
