Ep. 114 The Found Colony of Roanoke?: How New Evidence Uncovered on Hatteras Island May Put the “Lost Colony” Myth to Bed Once and For All
Description
This week I’m very excited to share with you some recent developments in the story of the “Lost Colony” of Roanoke. I’m joined by Scott Dawson, who runs the Lost Colony Museum in the town of Buxton, on Hatteras Island. For a long time, Scott has been working with British archaeologist Dr. Mark Horton to excavate sites of old Native American villages in Buxton, left by a group known as the Croatoan. What they have discovered recently may just be the first real “smoking gun” evidence to prove what really happened to the colonists. And, no spoilers, but it’s pretty much exactly what we should have already realized happened.
