Researchers discover evidence in the mystery of America's 'Lost Colony'


Archaeologists recently uncovered evidence pointing toward the fate of the Roanoke Colony, whose residents disappeared between 1587 and 1590 in North Carolina.

After 10 years of research, an archaeologist spoke with Fox News Digital about his team's discoveries related to the lost Roanoke Colony. Mark Horton, an archaeology professor at Royal Agricultural University in England, spoke with Fox News Digital about his findings. At the site, archaeologists also found guns, nautical fittings, small cannonballs, an engraved slate and a stylus, in addition to wine glasses and beads – which all paint a vivid picture of life on Hatteras Island in the 17th century.
