What Happened to Lost Jamestown Colony? (They Were Eaten)

A skeleton from the lost Jamestown colony of 1609-10 was determined to have been subject to cannibalism. During the tough winter those first Brit arrivals chowed down on a 14-year old girl and whomever else in one of the colonies' first reality T.V. survivor island role models. Her skull had marks of forced entry. We wonder why those colonists could starve in game rich Virginia of that day with Chesapeake Bay full of fish, birds and crab even if it was a cold winter?  If the world ever starves and fails to grow food underground on the moon with solar light brought in with fiber optics they would show an equal lack of creative thought.

Another piece of archaeology news from American history is the discovery of a Spanish fort in the Appalachian foothills from the late 16th century. It is the oldest known fort away from the coastal area of the future U.S.A. The Spaniards were wiped out except for one survivor, and if they had stayed American history would have changed for there was a lot of gold in the area discovered later. The Spaniards were looking for gold and didn't find the rich nuggets. If they had they might have invested more conquistadors earlier in the north instead of mostly below the border.
