Maj. and Mrs. Frank Carmack arrived from Tampa, Fla., the first of this week for the sum mer.

Will Sift Fort Raleigh Earth To Learn Way Folk Of Tost Colony' Lived By IIOKE NORMS Manteo, N. C. ? The earth of Fort Raleigh Is being sifted and studied by the T. S. Park serv ice in an- archaeological survey to authenticate the site of the Sir Walter Raleigh settlement and determine the nature of the homes the "Lost Colonists" tried to establish on this rim of the New World in 1587. The new diggings ? the first of a series of projects planned around the Waterside Theatre, where Paul Green's "The Lost Colony" this summer will ob serve its tenth anniversary ? are being made on the south end of earth fortifications thrown up by the colonists in what might have been their unequal fight with unfriendly Indians. Melvin R. Daniels, of Manteo, vice-chairman of the Roanoke Island Historical association, in augurated the study by turning up the first spade of dirt in an area designated by J. C. Harr ington, regional archaeologist for the Park service. "Our object in this work," Mr. Harrington told the delegation, "is to authenticate the site of the fortification and determine the nature of the settlement that surrounded them. We want to know where the colonists built their cabins, whether close to the fortifications of rather widely scattered, and something of the fortifications themselves ? whether they were earthen breastworks alone, or consisted of a log blockhouse or some thing of the kind". In the area of the present study there remains shallow trenches and low grounds, mute evidence of a long-ago struggle for existence in a wild, new country. The outline of the for tifications was marked with stones in 1895 by Talcott Wil liams, who made a survey of the area for the newly formed Roa noke Colony Memorial associa tk)n, the predecessor of the Roanoke Island Historical asso ciation. These stone markers remain around the monument placed at the site in 1896 to. commemorate the birth of Vir ginia Dare, the first English child born in the New World. Mr. Williams reported that the trench around the fort averag ed 10 inches in depth and the mounds one foot and three inches in height at their crests He marked each angle of the fortifications with a stone, making a star-like outline The Roanoke Island Historical asso ciation, with WPA assistance, constructed a palisade at the site in 1935, approximating the outline of the trenches and mounds This, with the stock ade near the Virginia Dare monument, has been removed. Mr. William's report, under the title "The Surroundings and [ Site of Raleigh's Colony," was j published in the annual report of the American Historical as- 1 sociation in 1895.
