Excavation Experience on the 'Pompeii of the New World'Application Deadline: On going
University, Company, Institution: St. Eustatius Center for ArchaeologicalResearch (SECAR) Project Director: The Director of SECAR is Dr. R. Grant Gilmore III, RPA, AIFA, and Island Archaeologist employed by the St. Eustatius Island Government.Field School Description:The St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research aims to provide the most rewarding Colonial period field school experience in the West Indies. SECAR runs continuous field schools from January to August. During the autumn (hurricane season) we operate artefact processing, cataloguing and conservation lab experiences. The course of fieldwork training that you receive on St. Eustatius is based upon extensive hands-on archaeological skills development. You will learn or improve upon all aspects of excavation including: digging, sifting, photography, surveying, drawing, and artefact processing. An Excavation Experience on Statia will truly take you back in time. Island life remains relatively untouched by commercial development. The clear Caribbean or blue Atlantic is within sight of most excavation sites. Participants are encouraged to immerse themselves in local culture and cuisine, enjoy the spectacular diving and explore the National Parks, including the rainforest in thSt. Eustatius was the primary transhipment center between Europe, the West Indies and the Americas between 1770 and 1800. For much of the American Revolution, Holland and France supplied US forces with much needed arms and ammunition through this port. Finally, the existence of the United States was first recognized by a foreign power here in November 1776 when a salute was fired to the USS Andrew Doria. Although the island is only 7 km by 5 km (5 miles by 2 miles), there are over 90 plantation sites, 300 warehouse ruins, 6 church sites, numerous urban domestic and commercial structures (houses, taverns, brothels, stores, printing presses etc), 20+ fortifications, and an estimated 200+ shipwrecks located on and around the island. As a result, the island is considered to have the densest concentration of colonial period artefacts for any location of comparable size anywhere in the world. Also, pre-historic sites are some of the best preserved in the Caribbean. A wide range of archaeological projects have been undertaken since 1979 by the College of William and Mary (USA), Leiden University (The Netherlands), and the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UK). The St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research (SECAR) has been established on the island as a permanent research facility designed to permit a continuous excavation program during the entire year. Negotiations are currently ongoing w Recent projects have included examination of two sugar plantations (English Quarter and the Pleasures Plantation Estate), a military fortification (Battery St. Louis), two urban colonial residences, and the first paleopathological study of a leper asylum anywhere in the New World. Similar projects are ongoing. Underwater archaeological programs are under development. Fees, which go towards building and vehicle maintenance and staff salaries, are on a sliding scale beginning at $500 for the first week going down to $100 per week after four weeks. Field school web site: www.secar.org Specialized skills students will have the opportunity to learn Additional information about optional fields: Evening lectures will include artifact identification, island history, Caribbean Colonial history, and theory and methods in archaeology. Free time can be spent exploring the island's National Parks, which includes one of the most spectacular volcanoes in the Caribbean, snorkelling/scuba diving, mating, bodyboarding, or just sipping rum on the veranda. One week (26th June-2nd July) will be free for travel to adjacent islands which include Anguilla, St. Maarten, St. Barts, Saba, St. Kitts and Nevis. Tuition & Credit Room and Board Information: Low-cost dormitory style housing is available (bunk beds, no A/C etc). Hotel accommodation across a spectrum of comfort levels may also be found on the island. There are also several bed-and-breakfast type accommodations. Transportation to and from sites will be provided. Catering is available to all participants as well as an optional voucher program for eating in local restaurants.
