Exciting and fresh news from yesterday: recently a tourist was walking on the sea shore in the Cas en Bas area, when he came across a bone. He happened to be an archaeologist and to his trained eye this was no ordinary bone. He sent the bone for Carbon dating, and guess what? It is 1000 year old!
It seems that an archaeological team from Holland has arrived on the island and they have delimitated an area with a barrier tape (ah ah in front of Atlantic Ocean) and placed pegs wherever they have discovered bones, clay pots and other artefacts - this appears to cover a large area!
Well I am not surprised as Cas en Bas is a perfect cove... this whole coast is full of Amerindian sites - and nobody seems to care about this history. Worse! Bulldozers are creating golf courses, and more, all over St Lucia.
It is time for a serious look at the cost of what is called here development (townhouse, hotels and massive concretisation) despite the degradation caused to our heritage sites and the general environmental destruction. There seems to be a lack of common sense and values by everyone.
St Lucia urgently needs an effective policy on Heritage sites applied by a government which is not merely a real estate agent!
Help !!!!!!!!!
I will investigate further and soon give you some news about this new Amerindian site ....
Thanks to Dany for the info.
