Uncover the lost secrets of Nevis: from the vanished capital of Jamestown to the island's first-ever discovered slave village and ancient Amerindian settlements.
Join us for a captivating archaeological adventure across Nevis as we search for the long-lost Jamestown, investigate the island's earliest Amerindian inhabitants, and reveal the daily lives of African slaves hidden in the island’s overgrown terrain. Our journey is packed with discoveries - from centuries-old pottery and mysterious artifacts to forgotten fortresses and myths of tidal waves that changed local history.
In this episode, our team uses cutting-edge geophysics, historical records, and hands-on excavation to piece together Nevis’s past. We’ll walk through rain-soaked jungles, sift through coastal sands, and decode centuries-old maps to challenge local legends. See how we identify rare Amerindian postholes, reconstruct prehistoric huts, and unearth evidence that rewrites the story of Jamestown’s fate after the 1680 earthquake. Along the way, we reveal the contrasts between the grand lifestyles of English plantation owners and the resilience of the enslaved Africans who shaped Nevisian society. You’ll also learn about the plants, tools, and daily life of the island’s earliest residents, and how their legacy still echoes today.
Whether you’re fascinated by Caribbean history, archaeology, or the untold stories of lost communities, this deep dive into Nevis’s hidden past will surprise and inspire you. Watch as lost stories come alive through artifacts, landscapes, and local legends - and discover how archaeology can transform our understanding of the past.
