Reports (5 November 2020) the First Colony Foundation's Site X and Site Y on Albemarle Sound near the town of Mettaquem: English pottery that Jacqui Pearce (Museum of London) thinks could be late 16th century and unlikely after 1650; no fort; plough disturbance; the possibility of Jamestown-era traders; Charles Ewen's view that the team seeks to prove rather than test; and the view that Hatteras finds date to the mid to late 17th century.
