ST. CROIX — The St. Croix Archaeological Society and the St. Croix units of the National Park Service will host\u00a0the 27th biennial Congress of the International Association for\u00a0Caribbean Archaeology in July 2017, according to a press release issued on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The location was confirmed when the members and Board of the\u00a0International Association for Caribbean Archaeology (IACA) met in St. Maarten and accepted the\u00a0invitation that had been extended to them in 2013. The 2013 Congress was held in San Juan and the\u00a02015 Congress took place on July 19 in St. Maarten.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0biennial Congress brings\u00a0together about 200 of the leading archaeologists from around the\u00a0world who work in the Caribbean. A week is spent listening to over 100 papers and visiting\u00a0sites. While not in session, the Congress discusses what matters in archaeology of the Caribbean.\u00a0The\u00a0topics include: pre-Columbian peoples of the Caribbean; the Africa diaspora; the workers in all\u00a0jobs in the Caribbean; standing structures, forts, villages, industry; and homes of everyone.<\/p>\n

During Congress events, the DNA of the people of the Caribbean is often discussed along with their complex waves\u00a0and intermingling.<\/p>\n

The Congress will take place at the Divi Carina Bay Resort starting Sunday 24 July 2017, through the following weekend. Trips will be taken to many sites here, and a possible post-Congress trip to St. John is being weighed.<\/p>\n

The groups are currently raising funds to see the first IACA conference in the territory become a success.<\/p>\n
