Abstract

In March 2011, an archaeological values map was compiled for St. Maarten, the Dutch-side of the island of St. Martin. The mapping project was part of a broader cooperation program between St. Maarten and the City of Amsterdam, with involvement of the Bureau of Monuments and Archaeology, Amsterdam (BMA). The creation of the St. Maarten archaeological map was seen as a necessity within the construction of planning policies for the recently autonomous (2010) St. Maarten government, Planning Office (Ministry of VROMI). In 2012, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science provided the St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research (SECAR), Oranjestad, St. Eustatius (Caribbean Netherlands) with the task of creating archaeological predictive maps for the islands of St. Eustatius and Saba.
