Input: Almost 400 years after the Pilgrims celebrated their first Thanksgiving, archaeologists have unearthed evidence of the original 1620 settlement in Plymouth, Mass. 
  
 Researchers from UMass Boston’s Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research made the find on Burial Hill in Plymouth. Burial Hill includes a cemetery that was thought to be part of the original settlement, according to the Boston Globe, although the site had never been dug by archaeologists before. 
  
 The discovery was announced this week, some 395 years after the first Thanksgiving in 1621. 
  
 NATIVE AMERICANS CULTIVATED WILD TURKEYS LONG BEFORE FIRST THANKSGIVING 
  
 A team led by Fiske Center Associate Director David Landon were thrilled to discover 17th-century artifacts such as pottery, tins, trade beads and musket balls. The artifacts were discovered around so-called “post and ground construction” – holes for wood where structures once stood. 
  
 The finds sparked cautious optimism among the team that they had found a location inside the settlement walls. Soon, they discovered the remains of a calf buried in a pit. The calf, dubbed “Constance” by the team, was a vital clue the settlement. Because native people didn’t have domestic cattle her remains prove that she lived and died within the original Plymouth settlement. 
  
 “Constance is a great symbol of this. Oftentimes success in the colony depended on herds of cattle. It became a centerpiece of the economy. So the calf does connect us to that story,” said Landon, in a press release. 
  
 16TH-CENTURY SHIPWRECKS FOUND AMID ROCKET DEBRIS OFF FLORIDA COAST 
  
 Living history museum Plimoth Plantation, which is about 3 miles south of Burial Hill, partnered with UMass Boston on the project. 
  
 “Finding physical evidence of the original Pilgrim settlement is an incredibly exciting discovery that can fundamentally change our understanding of the 17th-century Atlantic world,” explained Kathryn Ness, Plimoth Plantation’s curator of collections, in an email to FoxNews.com. “The UMass Boston team’s discovery as a whole proves that, despite 400 years of development, Plymouth Colony is still here and ready to tell us more about the everyday life of the Pilgrims.” 
  
 The discovery will prove extremely valuable in Plimoth Plantation’s work, according to Ness. “At our living history museum, these and future findings will help us further refine our exhibits, as we use archaeological evidence and historical documents as the basis for our portrayal of the past,” she said. 
  
 EXPLORERS FIND 2ND-OLDEST CONFIRMED SHIPWRECK IN GREAT LAKES 
  
 Landon’s team have been working to find evidence of the original settlement prior to the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Plymouth Colony in 2020. The researchers’ discovery came during the first year of a three-year $200,000 National Endowment of the Humanities grant to study the Plymouth Colony and the colonists’ relations with the indigenous Wampanoag people. 
  
 More research will be conducted on the Burial Hill site next summer by Landon and his team. 
  
 “We are excited to see what else they find!” Ness told FoxNews.com. 
  
 Other experts have also been shedding new light on America’s pre-colonial history. Researchers at Florida State University, for example, have uncovered evidence that wild turkeys were a common part of Native American life long before the first Thanksgiving. Native Americans were managing and raising turkeys as early as 1200 – 1400 A.D., they explained, in a paper published Monday in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports.

 Three hundred and ninety-five years after Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts, researchers from UMass Boston’s Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research can say they have definitively discovered evidence of the original 1620 Plymouth settlement. Part of the proof involves a calf that UMass Boston students have affectionately named Constance. 
  
 For the fourth summer, David Landon, associate director of the Fiske Center, led a group of undergraduate and graduate students in a field school in Plymouth offered through UMass Boston’s College of Advancing and Professional Studies. Landon and the students spent five weeks on Burial Hill looking for the site of the original Pilgrim settlement. Landon’s goal when he started was to find evidence of the original settlement prior to the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Plymouth Colony in 2020. He met his goal four years early, in the first year of a three-year, $200,000 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant. 
  
 Because the original structures weren’t built with bricks, the research team couldn’t look for foundations. Rather, they had to look for “post and ground construction” – basically holes for wood, and dirt. 
  
 “While we’re digging, we’re constantly in the process of trying to interpret what we’re finding. It really goes to just moving slowly and trying to see if there are any patterns in the flow that we can map out. As soon as that starts, it becomes a slow process. It’s about much more than the artifacts – it’s about trying to pin down soil color and trying to understand constructed features that are no longer there,” Landon said. 
  
 But then Landon’s team did start finding 17th century artifacts: 17th century pottery, tins, trade beads, and musket balls – around that post and ground construction. Landon says the students and researchers were at this point cautiously optimistic that they had found a location inside the settlement walls. And then they found “Constance” – a calf buried whole in the bottom-most pit. Because native people didn’t have domestic cattle, Landon says we know that she lived – and died -- in the confines of the original Plymouth settlement. 
  
 “Constance is a great symbol of this. Oftentimes success in the colony depended on herds of cattle. It became a centerpiece of the economy. So the calf does connect us to that story,” Landon said. 
  
 Kathryn Ness is the curator of collections at Plimoth Plantation, UMass Boston’s partner in this project. She says this discovery is huge. 
  
 "Finding evidence of colonial activity inside the original 1620 Plymouth settlement is an incredibly exciting discovery that has the potential to change dramatically our understanding of early European colonization in New England. For the first time, we have proof of where the settlement was located and what kinds of items the Pilgrims owned and used,” Ness said. “At Plimoth Plantation, the team's findings will help us further refine our exhibits, as we use archaeological evidence and historical documents as the basis for our portrayal of the past and to ensure that our buildings, activities and reproduction objects are as accurate as possible. We are looking forward to learning more about their discoveries and seeing what they find next season!" 
  
 And Landon and more students and researchers will be back next summer. 
  
 “We’ve opened the first window but we want a bigger view. We want the bay window. We want to see if we can find other components,” Landon said. 
  
 For now, researchers and students are cleaning, labeling, and researching what was found this past summer. They’re also going to be trying to figure out how Constance died and why she was buried, rather than eaten. ||||| Researchers were cautiously optimistic that they had found a location inside the original Plymouth settlement walls. And then they discovered the remains of this calf, which UMass Boston students affectionately named Constance. 
  
 The Pilgrims stepped ashore in Plymouth in 1620, no question. But efforts to pin down exactly where they lived on the first Thanksgiving, and the few precarious decades afterward, have been elusive. 
  
 Until now. 
  
 On Tuesday, archeologists from the University of Massachusetts Boston said they have discovered what is believed to be part of the original settlement, a conclusion reached through calf’s bones, musket balls, 17th-century ceramics, and brownish soil where a wooden post would have stood.

 Kathryn Ness, curator of collections at Plimoth Plantation, a nonprofit museum that was UMass’ partner on the project, said the discovery could fundamentally alter what is known about the everyday life of the Pilgrims.

 “Knowing where it is, and that there are pieces that have not been wiped out by construction, will absolutely change what we understand about that settlement,” Ness said. “Archeology helps support the historical record, but it also speaks to those who weren’t writing — the illiterate, children, the animals.” 
  
 David Landon, a UMass Boston archeologist who has been digging with his team in Plymouth for the last four summers, said: “We’re thrilled. I’ve never worked harder for something more exciting.” 
  
 The breakthrough occurred on Burial Hill, a rise that includes a centuries-old cemetery where historical lore had long placed part of the first settlement. But archeologists had never dug there before — partly through concerns about disturbing the graveyard — until Landon and his team put together a meticulous, sensitive plan to work on the margins. 
  
 What they found this summer — in a 17th-century trash pit and in the stained soil that indicated a post hole — told the team members they were turning the very ground where the first settlers lived. The key to that finding was the discovery of a calf’s bones underneath a layer of discarded household artifacts that dated from before 1650, Landon said. 
  
 UMass Archeologists and students were meticulous in their efforts to recover artifacts.

 The 102 original Pilgrims and their earliest descendants raised domesticated cattle, unlike their Native American neighbors. So, the discovery of calf remains from that time — as well as a post hole to support a wooden house or structure — is compelling evidence that a sliver of the original settlement existed there, Landon said. 
  
 “People have never found part of the 17th-century settlement in downtown Plymouth,” Landon said. “For the first time, we found part of the built environment.” 
  
 That the area had never been found seems baffling, but knowing approximately where the village had been located suited a great many people for many years. Plymouth Rock, after all, is only an educated guess of where the Pilgrims stepped ashore. 
  
 Archeologists also faced the complications posed by layer after layer of development and construction. 
  
 “It’s buried underneath a town that grew up for hundreds of years,” said Landon, associate director of the Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archeological Research at UMass Boston.

 The news was welcomed by people with connections to the Pilgrims. 
  
 ‘We’re thrilled. I’ve never worked harder for somethingmore exciting.’ 
  
 A descendant of four of them, Darlene Gardner of East Bridgewater, said the discovery now can help put boundaries on a settlement whose dimensions have long been suspected but never formally determined. 
  
 Desiree Mobem, director of the Alden House Historic Site in Duxbury, where the Pilgrim couple John and Priscilla Alden moved after leaving Plymouth in 1627, said she watched some of the dig this summer. 
  
 “It’s an unbelievable finding when you consider how much of Plymouth has been built on that,” Mobem said. 
  
 The UMass team numbered up to 35 people a day and worked on the site from late May through June, Landon said. What followed has been painstaking and time-consuming work to clean, examine, and inventory the artifacts. 
  
 “This is the hard part,” Landon said. “We obsess over each piece of pottery, figuring out exactly what it is.” 
  
 The team also found beads that were intended to trade with the Native Americans, he said. 
  
 “Our heart was excited about this all summer, but it took a while to convince our head what we actually found,” Landon said. 
  
 Undergraduate and graduate students who made up much of the team lived at Plimoth Plantation. The plantation made its public lab available to the students, who worked with the artifacts as visitors watched. 
  
 The excavation has shown that Burial Hill also was used by Native Americans before the Pilgrims arrived on a wayward voyage they had thought would take them farther south. The archeologists discovered a stone-tool workshop and pottery on the site, among other Native American artifacts. 
  
 Peter Drummey, librarian for the Massachusetts Historical Society, said the finding is “extraordinary.” The written record from the period is significant, but the physical evidence is scant, Drummey said. 
  
 “Thinking of the past through documents, you have essentially a two-dimensional description,” he said. But with the artifacts unearthed through archeology, he added, that view expands to three dimensions. 
  
 The dig marked an early triumph in Landon’s goal to find evidence of the settlement before 2020, the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival. He has two years remaining in a $200,000, three-year grant for the work from the National Endowment for the Humanities. 
  
 “We all have this stereotypical image,” Landon said. “What we’re interested in is what we can say about the reality of it.”

Output:
We likely now know the exact location of the first Pilgrim settlement in the New World—thanks, in part, to a cow named Constance. The Boston Globe reports it's long been known that the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, but it was never clear exactly where they built their settlement. Archaeologists from the University of Massachusetts Boston had been digging at a place called Burial Hill—a place believed to have served as a cemetery for the original settlement—for five weeks when they made an exciting find, according to Cape Cod Today. That find? The first evidence in downtown Plymouth of a "built environment" predating 1700. The team found ceramics, musket balls, and more. One of the most important discoveries was evidence that a wooden post had once stood there. "It’s about much more than the artifacts," the head of the archaeology team says. It’s about trying to pin down soil color and trying to understand constructed features that are no longer there." Even better: The team found the remains of a cow, which they named Constance, buried at the site. Native Americans didn't keep domestic cattle. Kathryn Ness at the Plimoth Plantation history museum tells Fox News it's "an incredibly exciting discovery that can fundamentally change our understanding of the 17th-century Atlantic world." The team plans to do more digging next summer and hopes to figure out why Constance was buried instead of eaten.
