It might even be possible to get some of the students at the local secondary schools and Bishops College to be involved, thereby insuring some local participation and affording some opportunity for learning from within those institutions dedicated to that goal. One of the skulls was vandalized and smashed perhaps out of a fear born of superstition, certainly not out of hatred, it is almost humanly impossible to hate a dead man. Perhaps this represents an opportunity to celebrate Carriacou as a spot that has known human habitation for thousands of years. It seems ironic that no attempt has been made to further investigate this site. Before the removal of the circular clay well-head water began to collect in the center ring, and within hours cement was poured for the construction of a cistern.
Much speculation exists concerning the presence of human remains.
In almost every country in the world if remains are found construction is halted so that authorities might determine if any foul- play has been committed, in this case with the find at greater than 5 feet it is probably safe to say no one living today could have had a hand in these peoples death. I may be wrong but what seems to be being overlooked is that this was in all probability a Ceremonial sight. There was even talk of metal weapons being found, but these people had no metal and this site pre-dates any known European presence by close to 1,000 years. As for treasure, or gold, these people had very little. No these were simple people, unsurpassed in seamanship and the conuco type agricultural system that even today has allowed farmers in Cuba to survive in the face of the US embargo, the same farming methods that have been shown to do the least damage to the fragile island eco-systems.
