In January, the archaeologists excavated in a field two miles north of Site X, which they dubbed Site Y. Just outside its wall, at a place they called Site X, Luccketti’s team found no fort, but they did uncover two dozen pieces of English pottery that they maintained likely belonged to Lost Colony survivors. Since early European colonists typically built their settlements near Native American sites, this seemed a good place to start.Ĭlay Swindell, an archaeologist associated with the First Colony Foundation who examined Mettaquem, said the palisaded village was home to some 80 to 100 people. In 2015 Luccketti’s team excavated the area marked on the map, close to a Native American village called Mettaquem. The Spanish sent an expedition to wipe out the rogue colony, but they, too, failed to find the settlers. Scholars speculated that White wanted to hide the existence of the fort from the Spanish, who viewed the Roanoke venture as a threat to their domination of North America and the critical shipping lanes off North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
#COLONY SURVIVAL SALE PATCH#
On top of the patch was another faint outline of a fort, this one drawn in what analysts said was invisible ink. Its location is 50 miles to the west of Roanoke Island, matching the governor’s account. Beneath the patch they found the image of a fort at the head of Albemarle Sound. The case went cold until 2012, when researchers noticed a patch on a watercolor map of eastern North Carolina painted by White. The governor never located the settlers, who included his daughter Eleanor Dare and his granddaughter, Virginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World. White also wrote that the settlers intended to move “fifty miles into the main,” an apparent reference to an inland site. One of them, Manteo, traveled twice to England and was made a lord by Queen Elizabeth I. The sole clue to the settlers’ fate was a post carved with the word “Croatoan,” then the name of Hatteras Island and its native inhabitants, who had been on friendly terms with the English. When he finally returned to the settlement three years later, he found it deserted. At the time, the colony’s governor, John White, was in London gathering supplies and additional colonists.
The Lost Colony was made up largely of middle-class Londoners who found themselves stranded on the North Carolina shore when the Spanish Armada attacked England, plunging their nation into war. If both discoveries hold up, they support the theory that the colonists split up into two or more widely separated survivor camps, almost certainly aided by Native Americans with whom they likely assimilated. We are only a short drive away.The announcement came just months after another archaeologist claimed to have found objects related to the lost settlers on Hatteras Island, located about 50 miles south of Roanoke Island.
