Results from the first excavation on the Saintes Bay's Shipwreck, Guadeloupe, FWI
Résumé
This paper presents results from the first excavations on the Saintes Bay’s wreck, Guadeloupe, French West Indies. The
wreck may be linked to the loss of Anemone, a French schooner built in 1823 in Bayonne and used as a custom ship in
Guadeloupe. The July 2015 archaeological project surveyed the site. Discrete trenches were excavated to identify both shipwreck material culture and ship structure, and compare this to archival records; and facilitate archaeological interpretation
of the site, with regard to accounts of its loss, design plans, construction details, etc.
