From the Oct. 23, 2011, Daily Press (Va) "Jamestown dig reveals footprint of 1608 church" by Mark St. John Erickson.
Student archaeologists in the summer of 2010 first discovered a site that had been scoured by slaves for a Confederate earthwork near the 20th century statue of Captain John Smith.
They found large post holes at the site of a 1608 church where Pocahontas and John Rolfe were married. Further digging in 2011 revealed the entire footprint of an enormous building by early Jamestown standards, the 24 by 64 foot church.
