  • Plum Piece Evidence for Archaic Seasonal Occupation on Saba, Northern Lesser Antilles Around 3300 BP Corinne L
    Journal of Caribbean Archaeology Copyright 2003 ISSN 1524-4776 Plum Piece Evidence for Archaic Seasonal Occupation on Saba, Northern Lesser Antilles around 3300 BP Corinne L. Hofman Menno L.P. Hoogland Recent investigations on the island of Saba, northern Lesser Antilles, revealed evidence of preceramic occupation in the northwestern part of the island at an elevation of approxinately 400 m above sea level. The inland location of dense midden deposits in a tropical forest environment makes the Plum Piece site unique for studying the preceramic occupation of the Antilles, a period that is otherwise mainly known from coastal settings. The recovered artifacts and the radiocarbon dates support an attribution to the Archaic period of the preceramic Age. The nature of the tools and the restricted number of exploited food sources suggest a temporary, probably seasonal, occupation of the site for a unique activity. _____________________________________ Archaeological investigations on the island coastal exploitation in which shellfish of Saba, northern Lesser Antilles (Figure 1) predominates. The species collected are related during the summers of 2001 and 2002 revealed to the exploitation of specific coastal evidence of preceramic occupation at the site of environments, varying from mangroves to Plum Piece in the northwestern part of the island shallow-water and shallow-reef habitats. dating from approximately 3300 BP.

Title: “Better than we”: landscapes and materialities of race, class, and gender in pre- emancipation colonial Saba, Dutch Caribbean Issue Date: 2017-02-09 Page | 47 Chapter 4: Saba in the Documentary Record This chapter outlines the processes involved in documentary research, and outlines the colonial history of Saba, from first sightings by Europeans to the early twentieth century, with the abandonment of Middle Island and Palmetto Point. A significant proportion of the history recounted herein is derived from original archival and historical newspaper research by the author, which is indicated by references to archive locations and their indexes that do not include an adjoining secondary source reference. In particular, it focuses on the oral and documentary history concerning free and enslaved Sabans of African descent. This includes the first arrival of enslaved Africans to the island, the rise and fall of the plantation economy, the emergence of free Sabans of African descent, laws pertaining to the institution of slavery, emancipation as it occurred on Saba in 1863, and its aftermath. The sources and their history A wide variety of sources were employed throughout this research in several collections worldwide. The most important sources for seventeenth and eighteenth colonial documents have been the Calendar of State Papers through the British National Archives (herein abbreviated to the BNAr), and the Dutch National Archives in The Hague (herein abbreviated to DNAr).

    Fort Bay, 4 August 2017 The Executive Council Saba Island Government Power Street 1 The Bottom Re.: Addressing urgent threats to Saba’s Trail Network Dear honorable Council Members, Saba’s historic trail network is a major attraction for our tourism industry. Because of the continuous upkeep and restoration efforts by the SCF in the past decades, the island has become a renown hiking destination and attracts tourists from all over the world. They appreciate the island’s unspoiled nature, serenity and breathtaking vistas, as a haven away from the hustle and bustle of urban society. Hiking and other nature related activities, like birdwatching, are steadily inclining, but still have not reached their full potential. Consequently, Saba’s prosperity and economy, now and in the future, are highly depend on the conservation of its unique, but very fragile marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Nonetheless, recently the integrity of the trail network has been seriously compromised. There have been numerous development activities, with no regards to Saba’s cultural heritage and nature, giving us no choice, but to close certain trails. 1. Sandy Cruz Trail Construction activities have destroyed parts of the path on the trail head in Upper Hell’s Gate. It is presently barely passable.

Title: “Better than we”: landscapes and materialities of race, class, and gender in pre- emancipation colonial Saba, Dutch Caribbean Issue Date: 2017-02-09 Page | 214 Chapter 6: Excavated non-Plantation Contexts This chapter will describe the sites across Saba that will be referenced throughout this work. The process of excavation will be described along with details of artifact compositions. Unless otherwise specified, all sites discussed below which range between SB 001 to SB 032 were originally surveyed by Jay Haviser (1985). Particular attention was paid to the ceramic assemblages regarding typologies and surface decoration, and to a lesser extent the glass assemblage, in the cases where this abounded relative to ceramics. SB 037: The Fort Bay ridge site Overview and Site Location The site SB 037 is located at the foot of Bunker Hill in the southwest of the island at approximately 17°37’07N and 63°15’04W, half way up the road between the Fort Bay Harbour and The Bottom. Its proximity to Parish Hill and Great Hill, two young volcanic domes, may have impacted its pre-Columbian occupation history through volcanic events. The vegetation at SB 037 consists mainly of grasses, the invasive Euphorbia tithymaloides, and “Maraun bush” (Croton flavens L.). The SB 037 site was a strategic settlement location throughout the Amerindian and colonial periods. Fort Bay, Ladder Bay, and Wells Bay are the only reliable anchorage points on Saba, aided in part by the sheltered position of the western waters around Saba from the northeast trade winds.

  • Saba's Nature Trails
    Visitor Information Saba Conservation Foundation PO Box 18, The Bottom The Nature of Saba Saba, Netherlands Antilles www.sabapark.org The island of Saba forms part of the inner arc of islands stretching between the Virgin Islands and Venezuela. Saba is located within the Caribbean hurricane belt. The hurricane season starts in July and normally lasts until November. All of these islands are of volcanic origin resulting in an extremely mountainous topography. Saba is Temperature, humidity, and rainfall vary significantly with altitude on high volcanic islands such as Saba. The vegetation varies approximately 13 square kilometers (5 square miles) in area with Mt. Scenery as its highest elevation at 877m within distinctive zones which are also related to altitude and humidity. Several vegetation types exist on the island. Clouds often (2877ft) above sea level. The slopes of the peaks and domes are steep, in some places exceeding 60º. Several cover the top of Mt. Scenery, resulting in cloud-forest vegetation. Slightly lower in a belt where high rainfall occurs, rain-forest valleys or ravines locally known as guts run down the slopes of the mountain. A few level plateau can be vegetation is present. Still lower on the slopes where humidity decreases, the vegetation gradually becomes drier. Plants and trees found, the largest being the valley of The Bottom and Flat Point. found closer to shore often adapt to the salty environment, while species found at higher elevations would not survive at sea level. The average annual rainfall for Saba is about 1,000 mm (40 inch). Precipitation varies depending on elevation and exposure to the eastern trade winds.
