Close inspection Pipes, which ore destined to replace the smoke stack an interesting playground for this Hoke County near the McDonald Cafeteria at Hoke High, make youngster during an evening last week. Few clues for 'Lost Colony' Archaeologists are used to solv ing mysteries, but in this case the clues were ridiculously few: some ^snippets of information from a journal and three letters carved on a tree on Roanoke Island to tell them where the first English settle ment in America had been. In his recent book, "Ar chaeology and the Enigma of Fort Raleigh," archaeologist J.C. Harr ington describes the work he did between 1947 and 1965, allowing him to confirm the location of the fortress erected by the first English colonist. Harrington, who was working under the auspices of the National Park Service, was unable to And the location of the settlers' home. However his efforts provide the >^ckground for current ar ieological explorations on >anoke Island. larrington's book has just been Slished by the Historical K)Hcations Section of the jartment of Cultural Re sources, in conjunction with America's 400th Anniversary Committee. The 400th Committee is charged with coordinating the three-year commemoration of the Roanoke Voyages of 1584-1587, which brought the first English settlers of America to the Outer Banks. As part of the commemoration, the 400th Committee and Historical Publications Section h^ve worked together to publish a number of books and pamphlets for everyone from scholars to schoolchildren. The settlers who came to Roanoke Island in 1585 erected Fort Raleigh and some houses before returning to England a year later. The group who arrived in 1S87, headed by John White, used these dwellings also. Governor White returned to England for Supplies. When he finally got back to Roanoke Island three years later, the settlers had disappeared. According to White's journal, all that remained to the "lost col ony" were some letters carved in a tree and some remnants 01 the for tress. As well as confirming the site of the fortress, Harrington made some other important contribu tions. In 1959 construction workers came across fragments of clay and brick in an area which Harrington later identified as an "outwork" of Fort Raleigh, but not the loca tion of the 1585 settlement site. By 1965 Harrington's work had shown that the colonists had very likely made these bricks themselves, although they must have soon discovered that the local earth was unsuitable. In "Archaeology and the Enigma of Fort Raleigh" Harr ington describes these discoveries, and offers suggestions for further attempts to find the 1585 settle ment site. The National Park Service is continuing the search, using its own funds as well as a grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to the American Quadricentennial Corporation, the private, fundrais ing arm of the 400th. Harrington's book, a 36-page paperback, is illustrated with photographs of artifacts found during the author's digs, as well as plans of the fort and the "out work." The book is available for S2 a copy, plus SI for postage and handling, from the Department of Cultural Resources, Historical Publications Section (N), 109 East Jones St., Raleigh, 27611, 919/733-7442. It may be obtained at the North Carolina Museum of History Gift Shop in Raleigh, the Elizabeth II State Historic Site in Manteo, some other state historic sites and commercial bookstores. The official commemorative period for America's 400th An niversary is spring of 1984 through summer of 1987. Events began in late April with the visit of Governor Jim Hunt and a North Carolina delegation to England, where they attended several ceremonies. June 2-16, Durham hosts the British American Festival, a major celebration of connections among ceremonies for the opening of the ship, "Elizabeth II," issuance of a commemorative stamp from the U.S. Postal Service and celebra tion of an Elizabethan street fair. Committees in all 100 counties plan local events. Other activities during the three year commemoration will include special exhibitions at the state art and history museums, and ar chaeology work at Indian set tlements in northeastern North Carolina, as well as at the Colonial settlement site. ?
