Artifacts found in historically native areas doesn't mean the English and natives integrated. The natives could have traded for these goods, or taken these goods and used them without living with the English.

While recent discoveries that are massively unique about Oak Island Nova Scotia, there is coming proofs that English (Italian) discoverer John Cabot of Nova Scotia and the Canadian Maritimes in 1498, it was shortly thereafter in the early 1500s-mid 1500s, that British/Scottish colonists came to Oak Island, settled, occupied, and created such craft and base-industrial island complex. This would be at the same time or even earlier (with a sheltered environment in Mahone Bay), that such sailing and fishing fleets from this area could have had (and maintained) contact with the Roanoke colony(s) ... and they could have recovered them back to Oak Island in both instances - while there would be some that would assimilate into the Croatan peoples.

One needs to have the Lumbee tribe to do their DNA picture, and these studies would provide greater analysis of the Lumbee and their further Cherokee assimilations as well.
