ADORNO FROM THE RIM OF A VESSEL | MODELED FROG ON VESSEL WALL |
---|
In 1973, Yale University made several excavations, where workers unearthed middens (garbage dumps) on this site where Arawak chiefs and shamans had apparently lived, bringing to light long buried religious artifacts so that the Historical Society could continue reconstructing the religious practices begun by earlier work. Only about 1% of the site was excavated; the idea being that the rest should be left for future Antiguan archaeologists and for when better and more advanced method will be developed.
