To celebrate the 200th anniversary of American Independence, Chronicle went to Williamsburg in Virginia to see one of the most remarkable contributions of archaeology to America's past.

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has not only succeeded in rebuilding an 18th-century English colonial town but, thanks to archaeological research, they have made the everyday life of the town come alive with meticulous accuracy.

Chronicle tells the story from the removal of the petrol stations in the 1930s to the excavation in the 1970s of the first mental hospital in the USA.
