Turner, also an archaeologist, has spent three decades trying to find Werowocomoco, poring over John Smith's writings, examining a map of the site made by a Spanish spy in the English court and driving the back roads of Gloucester County looking for clues to its location. In 2001, two archaeologists who had visited Ripley told Randolph Turner at the Virginia Department of Historic Resources about her collection. "They seemed to jump out at me," she recalls in her garage turned laboratory as she opens a large safe and pulls out drawer after drawer of broken pottery, arrowheads and pipestems. Walking her Chesapeake Bay retriever on her York River property a decade ago, Ripley noticed potsherds sticking up from the clay. Werowocomoco was abandoned, and the location of the dramatic confrontations between Smith and Powhatan that ensured the English foothold in North America was lost to history. But the peace did not hold, and within a year Powhatan relocated his capital farther west. In the midst of their first long winter, with insufficient food supplies, the foreigners were depending on exchanging copper ware, glass beads and iron hatchets for Algonquian corn. The English had unknowingly built their small rude settlement just a dozen miles from the center of Powhatan's confederacy. The survival of Jamestown-established 400 years ago next month-hinged on this encounter at Werowocomoco. He promised to help subjugate Powhatan's enemies to the west, and Powhatan formally declared the pale-faced foreigner a weroance, or Algonquian chief. He was escorted by Powhatan's son into the chief's longhouse, built of saplings, reeds and bark and set apart from the village. This time, Smith was an invited guest at the Algonquian settlement, Werowocomoco. Only the intervention of Powhatan's young daughter Pocahontas, as the English explorer would dramatize the scene years later, had saved him from execution. The first time he had seen Powhatan's capital, two months before, he had been a captive. Smith, a canny mercenary who once did time as a Turkish slave, had reason to be wary. On the other side of a sluggish creek was the capital of the powerful Algonquian chief Powhatan, who ruled a vast territory across the Virginia tidewater. John Smith and a small band of armed men approached a rickety wooden bridge. Stella's Tomb Raider Site: through swamp mud on a cold February day in 1608, Capt.
