This is the comic Archaeology in the Caribbean which I originally wrote and illustrated as a public outreach project in 2010 for the Carriacou Island Archaeology Project on the island of Carriacou in the West Indies. In 2014 I revised it slightly and it was republished as Archaeology on Carriacou. It introduced a daily comic journal detailing archaeological work during the project’s 2014 season. The comic was installed in the Tourism Office as part of their ongoing public archaeology exhibit, as well as in local businesses on the island. Copies were also distributed to local private and state schools to use in the classroom. If time, funding and logistics permit, the intention is to work alongside the new director of the Grenada National Museum and expand this comic to use as part of the museum’s outreach efforts.
