archaeologists explored seven sites on a small island off St. Thomas in
the US Virgin Islands in 1998. Ruins of plantation great houses, slave
cabins, and historic wells were examined, together with prehistoric Indian
shell middens and an impressive series of World War II era military fortifications.
A vast quantity of artifacts were recovered and are now being examined
by a wide array of scientists. Technical and popular reports on the work
will be issued in early 2001.
