The scene
You are Christopher Levett in 1623. You have just entered this cove by shallop.
The question
Before you build anything, what features of this landscape would convince you to settle here rather than at the next cove down the shore?
Active History
Historian Mode
Standing at a site, the manual does not tell you what is there. It asks you what you would have thought. Write your reasoning first; then reveal the historical interpretation.
Historian Mode turns the island into a working seminar. The point is not to be right — it's to notice what a person actually standing on this ground would have noticed. Every field card in the manual has more sites to try: browse all 11 points of interest.
