Heritage sites in Trinidad and Tobago must be preserved to safeguard the country’s history, according to visiting archaeologist Professor Mark Hauser, who is leading documentation work at the historic Cedar Grove Estate in South Trinidad.
Hauser, a professor of anthropology at Northwestern University, said protecting sites like Cedar Grove is critical to understanding the lives of enslaved and indentured workers who shaped the nation.
“Recognising historic sites like this is critical,” he said, noting that preservation efforts by the National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago and The University of the West Indies are a key step in ensuring these spaces are not lost.
