Our beginning as the Croatan Group was very humble: four people helped in the discovery, archaeological excavation, and educating the public of the Croatan Indian site. We now have 700 people on our mailing list, have purchased two buildings comprising 20,000 square feet with twenty acres of land and a 30ft. C&C research sail boat has just been donated. We have three contact-period Indian sites under contract to excavate, which will keep us involved with archaeological research into the next century.
