!!! It is finished. Saturday was May 14th, which was also ALSO Iyar 5 (Israel's actual Hebrew Independence Day date, only that it was moved forward this year due to Shabbat).
Dolan said the America went down May 14, finally flooded after the series of explosions over 25 days. No announcement was made at the time.

A: Everything really came together at Kingsmill. That's where we really got started on understanding these early sites. We learned to recognize what I call the "signs of the wooden ages."
Everything back then was built of wood - and it turned into dirt pretty quickly. But there are contrasts in the dirt, and we learned to shave it down so those contrasts could be seen and then analyzed for patterns. Then we began to recognize the differences between things like fence posts, postholes and palisade walls. That turned out to be the key at Jamestown - being able to tell the difference between a wooden palisade trench and a garden trench. And by the time we got to Harbour View, it was obvious that we had gone back as far as we could without finding the beginning. The only place to find that was at Jamestown.
Q: What made you start digging? A: The fort was the icon, the Holy Grail.
You can't make this stuff up.
May 14th, now there's an interesting date in history.
Ezekiel 37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick* of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick* of Judah, and make them one stick*, and they shall be one in mine hand.
Ezekiel 37:20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
Ezekiel 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

Q: Nearly 10 years later, you're still excited by the ongoing excavation. What are you looking for?
A: I'm still interested in America's beginning. I still want to find the start. The greatest excitement comes from finding something that was lost - that was a hopeless case - and there are still a lot more beginnings here to find.
"Signs of the wooden ages" indeed... where else, but Jamestown.
