UGA Professor says Archaeology Work in Caribbean is 'Fun'

Victor Thompson’s research doesn’t take place in a library or museum. His research is at an island in the Caribbean.

Thompson is a University anthropology professor specializing in archaeology. He recently traveled to the island of Mustique with his wife, who is a fellow anthropologist, and colleagues from the University of Oregon and the Netherlands.

The group worked to answer some basic questions about the history of the island, such as when it was colonized and how it fits into the larger picture of the development of the surrounding islands.
