Supplementary records of the 1587 Roanoke colony. The "CROATOAN" carving and the dismantled houses suggest the colonists may have moved inland to live with the Croatoan tribe, but no conclusive evidence of their fate has been found. Recent archaeological work continues to search for the "Site X" location.
