Abstract:

A pre-colonial site has been identified using a map from John White, one of the first explorers to the New World and the one who found the Croatan message from the Lost Colony. Speculating that this mark could pertain to the Lost Colony, archaeologists have begun digging in the area now called Site X, exposing colonial-era artifacts. These artifacts can now be seen at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
