The only thing left in roanoke were two words written on two trees. The tree near the church said the word CROATOAN. The other tree said CRO. CRO looks alot like an unfinished CROATOAN to me. So maybe they had to leave but didn't have enough time to finish. One of the indicators would be to carve a maltese cross on a tree if they were forced to leave. ( below:Maltese crosses imprinted on coins.) **What are some of the reasons we think they disapeared? Cannibalism, Spanish invasion, starvation, lost at sea.**
