Welcome back to the Caribbean. The first English settlers arrived here in Nevis 400 years ago and set up their first capitol Jamestown somewhere over there. But amazingly, as you can see it’s completely disappeared.
No sooner had the settlers arrived and they killed off the local Amerindian population. All that appears to be left of them are a few scattered patches of pottery along the coast.
We’re going to try and find both Jamestown and an Amerindian site. And don’t forget, we’re still on the hunt for the slave village that we started in the first programme.
The next three days, archaeology should be just as challenging and even more exciting than the first three.
