Summary
This is an abstract from the "Exploring Globalization and Colonialism through Archaeology and Bioarchaeology: An NSF REU Sponsored Site on the Caribbean’s Golden Rock (Sint Eustatius)" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The Exploring Globalization and Colonization Through Archaeology and Bioarchaeology National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site located on the Dutch Caribbean island of St. Eustatius (Statia) provides field and laboratory research experiences for undergraduate students from across the United States. The project’s research goal is to understand how individuals, families, communities, and governments shaped the natural and built environment and developed strategies through consumer purchases and social networks to respond to globalization and colonialism. The 2018 investigations focused on Fort Amsterdam and a nearby cemetery where investigations found evidence of occupations and human remains dating from around 1720 to circa 1810.
