Scientists say they have identified the remains of four men who were among the early leaders of Virginia's Jamestown settlement.
Jamestown was the first successful British colony that gave rise to modern day America. The bodies were exhumed in November 2013 in the church where Pocahontas married Captain John Rolfe in 1614.
