From PBS - In 1586 the English sent the first group of hopeful colonists to the New World. When ships returned three years later, the settlement was empty and colonists gone. The only clue was the word Croatoan carved in the gatepost of their fort. Our team spends three days at Fort Raleigh in hot pursuit of archaeological evidence that will put the ghost of Roanoke to rest and establish where the first colony in America was actually located.

From PBS - The picturesque and remote canyons of southern Utah contain what remains of the Fremont Indians who lived there 1,000 years ago. The Fremonts stashed their food in clay granaries high on the cliffs, and entered their underground homes through a hole in the ceiling. They decorated rock walls with petroglyphs that remain a mystery to this day. Our team learns what life was like in these canyons a thousand years ago.
