A look inside the Saba Archaeological Center
Leiden University has conducted archaeological field research on Saba since 1987. These projects have been led by Prof. dr. Corinne Hofman, Dr. Menno Hoogland, and Dr. Ryan Espersen. Currently, the Saba Heritage Center temporarily showcases a collection of finds from these projects as part of the display of the island's long heritage.
The book "Saba's first inhabitants. A story of 3300 years of Amerindian occupation prior to European contact (1800 BC - AD 1492)", by Corinne Hofman and Menno Hoogland, is for sale in shops around Saba. This book tells the story of the indigenous inhabitants of Saba prior to European colonization, based on 30 years of archaeological research conducted by Leiden University in collaboration with the government and people of Saba.
