THE official findings of an archaeological survey, conducted on the northern end of the Cas-en-Bas beach, that seems to have cleared the way for Cabot Saint Lucia to continue works in that area have been rejected by both the Saint Lucia National Trust and the Saint Lucia Archeological and Historical Society.
The Trust and the Society, which both gave their blessings for the survey to be done, in a joint statement, noted that due process was compromised when the developer released certain aspects of the report’s findings in advance of its consideration by the DCA and its referral agencies, in accordance with normal development control procedures.

THE official findings of an archaeological survey conducted on the northern end of the Cas-en-Bas beach that included a former Amerindian village and burial ground has been released, but this in no way has erased whatever tension that exists between the Saint Lucia National Trust (SLNT) and Cabot Saint Lucia, developers of that particular property.
The Trust and the Archaeological and Historical Society have been lobbying the Government of Saint Lucia and Cabot Saint Lucia to give due respect to the burial ground which they say contains artifacts of the island’s first inhabitants that could be of extreme value to the country.
