For those that contacted me via the "what is it" section, some photo's from the site in the Caribbean we have been working for the last couple of years. At the moment we are talking with a governement in the Caribbean to open a museum there as a tourist attraction. It will cover the whole piracy era, re-create a dig and go on to cover the whole history of the region from Pre Columbus with several thousand original exhibits. From our site we have found many crosses, coins, pottery pieces and object from everyday life. The site appears to be some sort of semi-permanent camp used by pirates or traders around the early 1700's. The first picture is me in a defensive ditch that goes around 3 sides of the site. There will be a series of books to to with the museum using original artifacts to illustrate them, they are written and due to be printed later in the year.

? a carved bone cross dated 1715, a C17th wooden goblet, this is decorated with a very simple design of stamped circles with a dot in each. Rim has a chip on it but still a great piece. A medal? from the C17th showing Oliver Cromwell, it has a loop on the back that looks like its meant to have a ribbon to hang it. Group shot of a few of our little pieces, some of the bone dice we have found. A great C16 or C17th bone corpus, it was found in pieces so the arms have had to be re-affixed and a few coins exactly as they have come out of the ground. Not cleaned them but they look to be Spanish C17th bronzes.
. Now if only there was some way of getting there to see this neat stuff
