Garbage search valuable
Prof digs up sunken city
by Floyd S. Wiltz
Battalion Reporter
Don Hamilton spent most of
last summer digging through
other peoples’ garbage. The
“garbage” was almost 300 years
old — and underwater.
Hamilton, a professor of
anthropology and archaeology
at Texas A&M University, and
13 graduate students in
archaeology spent eight weeks
conducting underwater excava
tions for the Jamaican govern
ment. Hamilton’s main excava
tion was the harbor city of Port
Royal, England’s largest 17th-
century settlement in the New
World.
The excavations were like
going through the people’s gar
bage and Finding what the peo
ple used by what they threw
away, Hamilton said.
“The signifigance of this to
day,” Hamilton said, “is that
probably the largest collection of
intact 17th-century English
material goods and culture is lo
cated at Port Royal.
“One’s garbage tells you an
amazing amount of what went
on.”
An earthquake on June 7,
1962, sent two-thirds of the city
into the sea. Port Royal, which
Hamilton said was once called
the “wickedest city in the world,”
had a population of 5,000 when
it sank.
Since nothing has been con
structed over the site of Port
Royal and only a gradual
amount of silting has occurred,
Hamilton said there are still
“tons of material in the harbor.”
He said previous excavations
and searches by treasure hun
ters have been conducted at Port
Royal, and poor underwater
visibility and sharks have been
reported in the area.
“We were a little bit leery (of
undertaking the project),” he
said, “but we found out exactly
what the conditions were before
we committed ourselves.”
Hamilton and his group ini
tially started two excavation
sites, each covering an area of 10
square feet. The deepest area in
which they worked was about 12
feet under water.
“The visibility was a lot better
than we had been led to believe,”
he said. “We found that we
could, with relatively simple
equipment, conduct well-
controlled work.”
The determined diggers disc
overed clay pots and pipes and
part of a wall that could be either
part of a house or a shop, Hamil
ton said. In one area, a collection
of turtle shells and bits of leather
were found.
“With the amount of leather
we found, it could possibly be a
shoe shop,” Hamilton said. “We
found lots of pieces of leather
and things that could be made
from leather.”
The next objective, he said, is
to go back to Port Royal and Fin
ish the excavations. All of the
artifacts found will be turned
over to the Jamaican govern
ment, which funded the entire
project last summer. Hamilton
said he hopes the government
will do so again, so he can dig
through another civilization’s
garbage.
