The National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago has launched a nationwide programme to assess the condition of more than 300 known archaeological sites as it races to document and protect the country’s ancient heritage from development and environmental change.
The initiative, which began with field assessments in the Ortoire and Mayaro region, will see archaeologists revisit every recorded site across Trinidad and Tobago, some of which have not been professionally examined for decades.
