Answer:

Hunting Land

Step-by-step explanation:

The site for Jamestown was picked for several reasons, all of which met criteria the Virginia Company, who funded the settlement, said to follow in picking a spot for the settlement. The site was surrounded by water on three sides and was far inland.

The water was also deep enough that the English could tie their ships at the shoreline - good parking! The site was also not inhabited by the Native population.

The settlers were now protected by building a fort against any attacks that might occur from the local Powhatan Indians, whose hunting land they were living on. Relations had already been mixed between the newcomers and the Powhatan Indians.
