State officials announced yesterday that the National Park Service has granted national-register approval to the archaeological site believed to be the village where the Indian princess Pocahontas famously saved Captain John Smith from execution by her father, Chief Powhatan.

The site is on the shore of York River's Purtan Bay in Gloucester County on privately owned land that has been studied intensely by archaeologists each summer since 2003.
