“The English colonists who settled the so-called Lost Colony before disappearing from history simply went to live with their native friends — the Croatoans of Hatteras, according to a new book,” the Virginian-Pilot reports.
Said author Scott Dawson, who researched records and dug up artifacts where the colonists lived with the Indians in the 16th century: “They were never lost. It was made up. The mystery is over.”
“Teams have found thousands of artifacts 4-6 feet below the surface that show a mix of English and Indian life. Parts of swords and guns are in the same layer of soil as Indian pottery and arrowheads.”
