The project on St. Croix is to be a truly collaborative, interdisciplinary endeavor designed to include as many Crucian historic preservation and archaeological local interests as possible. The project is hosted on property owned by the Nature Conservancy and is a collaboration with the Smithsonian’s Slave Wrecks Project, local historic preservation groups, the University of the Virgin Islands, and several universities on the U.S. mainland. Administered by members of the Society of Black Archaeologists (SBA), archaeology at the Estate Little Princess Plantation has three central goals: 1) Identify, record, and excavate historical archaeological features associated with human activity on the Little Princess Plantation property. 2) Teach modern archaeological field method and theory to the field school students, and 3) Include interested members of the local community in the data collection process, and empower them to take ownership of this slice of local heritage.
