Murray State University Archaeology Laboratory

In conjunction with Falmouth Heritage Renewal, Inc. and the Center for Cooperative Studies Abroad, students from a number of universities including MSU conducted archaeological testing in Falmouth, Jamaica, in 2006 and 2008.  Falmouth is on the north coast of Jamaica in Trelawney Parish, and was a busy port from the late eighteenth century until the mid-nineteenth century.  The project is intended to explore the socioeconomic diversity within the community.  The study began with the houselot originally belonging to Edward Moulton Barrett, because of potential plans to develop the property in the foreseeable future.  Field records, reports to the Jamaica National Heritage Trust, and a couple of conference presentations are posted.
