Royal Gazette: Archaeological dig seeks to confirm site of first settlements
Archaeologists hope to confirm the site of Bermuda’s first settlements on Smith’s Island in St George’s Harbour when a dig takes place this summer.
A team of professionals and volunteers will carry out the excavation and related lab work at Smallpox Bay from May 24 to June 28.
The project is part of continuing archaeological and historical research into Bermudian history on Smith’s Island, led by Michael Jarvis, a historian and archaeologist at the University of Rochester, New York.
