2012 Season a Success

Our 2012 season has come to a close, and we have all returned to our winter homes.  There is archaeology there to last weeks, months, years... We got three weeks of excavation done with 8 volunteers from Canada and the United States.  Similar to our 2011 season, we recovered burials and complete pots, as well as beads.  There is no doubt that St. Vincent is rich in archaeology...

Our sincerest gratitude goes out to a number of people that made this project happen.  This project would not have succeeded without the good folks of the International Airport Development Company, the SVG National Trust, the SVG Ministry of Culture, and all of our RocketHub fuelers.  And most importantly, special thanks go out to our volunteers - we hope you had the time of your life!

Look out for a 2013 season...!

Mid-excavation update

We are more than halfway through our 2012 season at Argyle 2.  Excavations continue to prove how rich in archaeology this site is, with continued identification of multiple features and burials, some of which get discovered accidentally, through the excavation others. In the process, our volunteers learned a lot, gained some valuable experience and, most importantly, had a great time!  We look forward to what the next week has in store!

RocketHub Update

Thank you to RocketHub for being a great platform for crowdsourcing, and for supporting us by interviewing our founder (read it here)... We raised just over 80% of our goal, which is above and beyond our expectations.  Our deepest gratitude goes to our family and friends, for both their financial contributions as well as their endless words of support and encouragement... and to those who don't even know us, lucky you ;)  Kidding.  Thank you for believing in a project as much as we do.

The first session of the 2012 season is right around the corner.  We are hoping to find some great archaeology and contribute to the prehistoric story of SVG.  Stay tuned!
