Causes Of Roanoke Settlement

What I think would have most likely happened in the Roanoke settlement was the settlers died from diseases and famine that started to spread. They weren't prepared for any of these events and they were running low on supplies they needed. They would then be buried and had the word "Croatoan" carved into the tree as paying tribute to their lives in a way. A second possibility is that the settlers decided to move in with the tribe, as the tribe are not hostile and had no hard feelings to them. And the land around them was peaceful and had plenty of natural resources around them to live off of. They would also form an agreement that, in exchange for goods and welfare, they would be welcomed to the tribe. They'd learn about each other's cultures,
