Caribbean archaeological heritage is threatened by natural impacts
but also increasingly by economic developments, often resulting
from the tourist industry. The continuous construction of specific
projects for tourists, accompanied by illegal practices such as
looting and sand mining, have major impacts on the region's
archaeological heritage. The geopolitical and cultural diversity of
the Caribbean, the general lack of awareness of island histories
and multiple stakeholders involved in the preservation process,
have in many cases slowed down the effective enforcement of
regulations and heritage legislation. The development of
archaeological heritage management (AHM) in the Dutch Caribbean
islands started slowly in the early years of their semi-autonomy
within the Kingdom of the Netherlands from 1954 onwards. With the
dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles on 10 November 2010,
Curacao and St. Martin obtained a more autonomous status within the
Kingdom, similar to Aruba has since 1986. Simultaneously, Bonaire,
Saba and St. Eustatius became special overseas municipalities of
the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Consequently, these three islands
now fall under Dutch regulations for cultural resource management.
Irrespective of these geopolitical changes, AHM has been developing
on the six islands over the past 25 years, partly because of the
active role of localized island-specific archaeological
institutions. This volume provides a background to the history of
archaeological research in the Dutch Caribbean and compiles a
number of compliance archaeology projects that have been carried
out under and in the spirit of the Valetta Treaty. Furthermore,
this volume represents a unique contribution to AHM in a wider
regional perspective, with its discussion of the successful
creation of localized community-based archaeological heritage
associations which serve as an excellent model for all island
communities in the Caribbean. Contents Introduction: the current
