Saint Eustatius Centre for Archaeological Research

The St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research (S.E.C.A.R) was formed as a not-for-profit research group under the St Eustatius Historical Foundation on St. Eustatius, Netherlands Antilles in 2000. S.E.C.A.R. was established to protect and preserve the archaeological resources located on the island in full cooperation with local residents. It became an independent foundation in 2006. The SECAR is dedicated to educating the local population, visitors and both lay and academic scholars on the unparalleled prehistoric and historic archaeological resources to be found on the island. Public lectures, school programs, archaeological tourist programs (Excavation Experiences), fieldschools and excavations provide opportunities for fulfilling this goal. St. Eustatius is committed to protecting and preserving its cultural resources. With a professionally trained and experienced staff for both historic and prehistoric archaeology, S.E.C.A.R. provides high-quality archaeological assessments on St. Eustatius
