We have a resource library and access to archaeological
news and surveys being performed and share with our
membership for their inclusion in the actual "dig". We
provide information on regional Archaeological Surveys
that are performed and host the presentation of the report.
We have had the SEAC National Park Service Archaeologist
Ken Wild speak of the St. John Dig at Cinnamon Bay. We
have also hosted Dr. Michelle Hayward and Dr. MIchael
Cinquino of Pan Am Consultants both of whom, have done
extensive work on the Pre-Columbian Caribbean History of
the region. Dr. Hayward presented an Archaeological Survey
done on the island of St. Croix where two Petroglyphs were
discovered. Dr. Hayward has written a book on Petroglyphs
on the island of Puerto Rico.
                                                     This book is available at our library and book store.                        
                                                      We publish a Newsletter and attempt publications                         
                                                      around the Equinoxes and Solstices, events that                            
                                                      drove their lives. Mr. David Hayes RPA has done                             
                                                       two recent digs on St. Croix, one of which was                                
                                                       presented to the Danish in Copenhagen, Denmark                       
                                                       for forensic studies. The other at the Longpoint                              
                                                      Colonial Settlement where a Danish Gaurdhouse                          
                                                       was established and held in the late 1700's. We                            
                                                       encourage teachers to bring their students for                                
                                                       guided tours, and digs. We have discussed the
                                                      introduction of a curriculum that studies the Pre-
                                                     Columbian History and Archaeological                                              
                                                      Methodology of Surveys. This hands on approach
                                                     shall give students tangible evidence of possible                           
                                                      careers available on our beautiful island. We are                            
                                                      dedicated to the exposure of the fascinating Pre-Columbian
history that exists on the island of St. Croix to the public and for the public benefit.
