  • Ocanahowan and Recently Discovered Linguistic
    2 OCANAHOWAN AND RECENTLY DISCOVERED LINGUISTIC FRAGMENTS FROM SOUTHERN VIRGINIA, C. 1650 Philip Barbour Ridgefield, Connecticut Published in: Papers of the 7th Algonquian Conference (1975) Ocanahowan (or Ocanahonan and other spellings) was the name of an Indian town or village, region or tribe, which was first reported in Captain John Smith's True Relation in 1608 and vanished from the records after Smith mentioned it for the last time 1624, until it turned up again in a few handwritten lines in the back of a book. Briefly, these lines cover half a page of a small quarto, and have been ascribed to the period from about 1650 to perhaps the end of the century, on the basis of style of writing. The page in question is the blank verso of the last page in a copy of Robert Johnson's Nova Britannia, published in London in 1604, now in the possession of a distinguished bibliophile of Williamsburg, Virginia. When I first heard about it, I was in London doing research and brushing up on the English language, Easter-time 1974, and Bernard Quaritch, Ltd., got in touch with me about "some rather meaningless annotations" in a small volume they had for sale. Very briefly put, for I shall return to the matter in a few minutes, I saw that the notes were of the time of the Jamestown colony and that they contained a few Powhatan words. Now that the volume has a new owner, and I have his permission to xerox and talk about it, I can explain why it aroused my interest to such an extent.

  • Discovery Shows Lost Colony Survivors Lived Inland
    NEWS RELEASE OCTOBER 15, 2020 Discovery shows Lost Colony survivors lived inland BERTIE COUNTY, N.C. -- Survivors of Sir Walter Raleigh’s “Lost Colony” moved inland and lived for several years along the Chowan River, according to new evidence excavated and identified by archaeologists from the First Colony Foundation, Foundation President Phillip Evans announced today. “The number and variety of artifacts recovered provide compelling evidence that the site was inhabited by several settlers from Raleigh’s vanished 1587 colony,” said First Colony Foundation principal investigator Nick principal investigator and Foundation Luccketti briefs local Bertie leaders on the excava- tion results. Research Vice President Nicholas Luccketti. On land belonging to Bertie County, the site has been designated Site Y. A nearby site previously discovered by Foundation archaeologists was designated Site X in 2015. “What has been found so far at Site Y in Bertie County appears to me to solve one of the greatest mysteries in Early American history, the odyssey of the ‘Lost’ Colony,” said Dr. William M. Kelso, CBE, FSA, Emeritus Director of Archaeology and Research at Jamestown Rediscovery. “And now, like Jamestown, knowing more about where the history of the English-American nation began is a crucial step toward a full understanding what the American nation has become.” Beginning in December 2019, Foundation crews gathered data from ground-penetrating radar and screened soil excavated from 72 5-by-5 test squares, unearthing ceramic sherds from the Roanoke Colony period. The sherds represent food and drink preparation, consumption, and storage, indicating that the Roanoke settlers were actually living at the site.

    WEAPEMEOC SHORES: THE LOSS OF TRADITIONAL MARITIME CULTURE AMONG THE WEAPEMEOC INDIANS by Whitney R. Petrey April, 2014 Director of Thesis: Larry Tise, PhD Major Department: Maritime Studies The Weapemeoc were an Indian group of the Late Woodland Period through the Early Colonial Period (1400 A.D.-1780 A.D.) that went through significant cultural change as they were displaced from their traditional maritime subsistence resources. The Weapemeoc were located in what is today northeastern North Carolina. Their permanent villages were located along the northern shore of Albemarle Sound, with seasonal and temporary villages on the outer banks and upriver on the several tributaries that drain to the Albemarle Sound. Weapemeoc access to maritime resources would be altered significantly by European colonization and settlement in the area. The loss of maritime subsistence, maritime communication and maritime mentality resulted in the loss of the traditional culture of the Weapemeoc Indians and their seeming disappearance as a distinct group of people. Early historical records and maps illustrate the acculturation of the Weapemeoc and the loss of traditional maritime culture. As land was sold to settlers in prime areas along rivers and along the shore of the Albemarle Sound, Weapemeoc were displaced from their seasonal procurement sites and seasonal permanent villages. By 1704, a reservation was established by the colonial government for the Weapemeoc along Indiantown Creek. By 1780, the Weapemeoc lived in such a similar fashion as their neighbors of European descent that they are no longer distinguishable in the archaeological or historical record.

From the outset, this project was designed with collaboration at its core. In investigating the history and archaeology of Tyrrell County, we wanted this to be a project that left something for the people of the area to have once we packed up and returned from where we came. We hope that our work lives up to their expectations. At the UNC-Coastal Studies Institute, John McCord and David Sybert were involved in every facet of the project; not only did they coordinate local outreach and education events (in conjunction with Lauren Heesemann, NOAA) and film activities for a short documentary, but they also “took the plunge” when instrumentation disappeared into the tea-stained Scuppernong.

  • North Carolina River Herring Plan Introduction the North Carolina
    North Carolina River Herring Plan Introduction The North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission approved and adopted the North Carolina – Amendment 1 – River Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP) in September 2007. The goal of the FMP is to restore and manage river herring (blueback herring and alewife) in North Carolina in a manner that is biologically, economically, and socially sound while protecting the resource, the habitat, and its users. The status of both species as indicated in the FMP is overfished and overfishing was occurring. Definition of Management Unit The management unit includes the two species of river herring (blueback herring, Alosa aestivalis, and alewife, A. pseudoharengus) and their fisheries throughout coastal North Carolina. The management areas are defined as follows: The Albemarle Sound River Herring Management Area (ASRHMA)- Albemarle Sound and all its Coastal, Joint and Inland water tributaries; Currituck Sound; Roanoke and Croatan sounds and all their Coastal, Joint and Inland water tributaries, including Oregon Inlet, north of a line from Roanoke Marshes Point 35° 48.3693’ N - 75° 43.7232’ W across to the north point of Eagles Nest Bay 35° 44.1710’ N - 75° 31.0520’ W (Figure 1). The Chowan River Herring Management Area (CRHMA)- Northwest of a line from Black Walnut Point 35° 59.9267’ N - 76° 41.0313’ W to Reedy Point 36° 02.2140’ N - 76° 39.3240’ W, to the North Carolina/Virginia state line; including the Meherrin River (Figure 1). River herring are distributed throughout the coastal waters of North Carolina, ascending many streams to their headwaters or until blocked by dams or other obstructions.

  • The North End of Roanoke Island in the 17Th Century
    th The North End of Roanoke Island in the 17 Century Roanoke Island at the beginning of the 17th century had probably changed relatively little from how John White saw it on 18 August 1590. Surely the palisado he saw had further deteriorated and the weeds had grown higher with shrubby undergrowth becoming established, but otherwise the island was once again in the quiet possession of the Indians. Under instructions from Sir Walter Raleigh, White had left the island in 1587 under at least the nominal dominion of a Croatoan Indian, Manteo, as “Lord of Roanoke and Dasamunkepeuc.”1 (Croatoan was that part of the barrier islands or outer banks off what is now North Carolina extending from the area around Cape Hatteras to about the middle of Ocracoke Island. Dasamunkepeuc was the Indian town at present day Manns Harbor, and John White crossed the island in 1590 to take a look across the sound toward it.) White encountered no one on the island in 1590, but reported seeing the fresh footprints of two or three Indians along the sound shore.2 Whether the Indians inhabited Roanoke or Dasamunkepeuc in 1600 is not known with certainty, but they appear to at least have visited the island to hunt for deer. White in 1587 stated that they hunted deer in the marshy, reedy areas of the island and that it was likely a party of these hunters who had killed colonist George Howe, one of John White’s Assistants for the Cittie of Ralegh, in 1587. White identified them as remnants of the Roanokes revenging the 1586 killing of the leader Wingina and then associates of Wanchese.

  • Chapter 7 - Environment
    CHAPTER 7 - ENVIRONMENT Introduction The development of Southampton County has been shaped and influenced by its topography, soils, prevailing winds, and the natural resources found within its borders and in surrounding localities. The County benefits from its location between the seashore and the mountains of southern Virginia, and acts as a natural conduit for goods passing between these areas. Southampton County’s location and natural resources have also made it an ideal site for agriculture and a number of industries. Forested lands provide plentiful timber and the fertile, sandy soils support the production of many crops, including corn, soybeans, cotton, and peanuts. This chapter summarizes the principal environmental features of Southampton County and its surroundings. This summary aids in defining issues which must be considered in the development of a sound land use plan and the regulatory measures which will be necessary to accomplish the community’s development goals.
