As the public has a moral right to know about the human past, it is of paramount importance for archaeologists to disseminate research findings to the widest possible audience within a reasonable time frame.  One of the objectives of the SECAR is to produce archaeological reports in a timely manner.  As reports are completed, they will become available online.  The St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research Reports is the publication title.  Larger monographs, articles, theses and dissertations will be listed as they are produced. Also see our monthly newsletter the Digger's Digest. Finally, what is thought to be the most comprehensive bibliography of St. Eustatius material is online here as well.
