Abstract:
This article reports on the findings of archeological excavations carried out at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Roanoke Island during spring 1947 - 1948. The project followed a resurgence of interest in Sir Walter Raleigh's failed efforts to establish a colony on Roanoke Island and the group's subsequent disappearance. It was initiated shortly after the site received National Historic Site status. A summary of a preceding historical study on the subject is provided, as well as a synopsis of the field work and its results. Study area site maps, diagrams of forts, soil striations, and earthworks are included.

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.
