I had an amazing time on my trip. Experiencing the culture was amazing and a once in a life time opportunity. I learned basic archaeological skills. It was definitely worthwhile. Sarah L - The College of William and Mary View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. I gained independence and more insight as to what I want to do after college. I also gained a hands on archaeological experience, which was rewarding. A student - The College of William and Mary View Entire Review
About
The Barbados field program will train students in historical archaeological and ethnohistorical methods. Students will conduct archaeological excavations at sites such as the St. Nicholas Abbey sugar plantation, one of the oldest sugar estates in Barbados, and at the George Washington House, the residence where a young George Washington lived in 1751. Students will examine the material conditions of Barbados’s earliest colonists. Weekend field trips will visit sites of historical, cultural, and environmental interest. In addition the program will coincide with two major national cultural celebrations in Barbados, “Crop Over” and “Emancipation Day.”
