Introduction to the Podcast

Hello fellow island lovers! In this introductory episode we introduce ourselves, two Caribbean archaeologists on a mission to share our passion for this region and its history with the rest of the world. We walk about our research and our reasons to reach out to you with our perspective on the fascinating history of the beautiful Caribbean Islands as told through its objects.

Below you can find links to some great places to start if you want to know more about our research, Caribbean history, and its avocational and vocational archaeologists and other scholars:
