Archaeological Research and Discoveries of the Caribbean
to the Indian Ocean

to meet the Daily of the Pirates

Underdeveloped in France and Europe, this recent theme in archaeology has been conducting research and archaeological excavations for nearly 50 years along the east coast of the United States, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean where several pirate shipwrecks have been discovered and identified.


These scientific programs provide key information for a better understanding of these sailors, former military personnel or merchants, who were drawn to a more independent life.
