Aside from interpreting the building, the volumetric reconstruction of the dwelling house and storehouse also protects the ruins underneath. Before building these accommodations, John Guy and his men used a temporary shelter nearby that first fall of 1610. The archaeology crew found the pit house in 2002. “They might have improvised the roof with a sail,” Archeologist Bill Gilbert says. In 1611 Guy mentions he built a ‘far greater house.’ So there’s a possibility another, larger house existed somewhere on the site. — Photo by Lillian Simmons/Special to The Telegram
