Anémone project : Goals methods and global result of the archaeological project (Les Saintes Guadeloupe)

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Anémone Project Les Saintes (Guadeloupe) : Result of the first multi-year underwater archaeological excavation in the French West Indies 2015-2019", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Research on the Anemone shipwreck was conducted between 2015 and 2019 as part of the first multi-annual underwater archaeology excavation that took place in the French West Indies. It has been funded by DRASSM (French Ministry of Culture), Guadeloupe Région, and the DMPA (French Ministry of Army). This paper aims to present the framework of the project objectives and the methods implemented in order to set the context of the excavation. The objectives of this excavation focused on the study of shipbuilding but also on the material culture of a French Naval schooner built in Bayonne in 1823 and sunk in 1824 during the 7th to 8th September hurricane.
