The butchered remains of a 14-year-old English girl were discovered on the site of Fort James amidst animal bones in the summer of 2012 by a team from the Jamestown Rediscovery Project. After the failed first attempts, a cleaver was used to deliver “four strikes to the back of the head, one of which split the skull in half. A penetrating wound was then made to the left temple… which was used to pry open the head and remove the brain.” by candace
