Title A name given to the resource Musee Departemental Edgar Clerc Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Museums Language A language of the resource French, English Type The nature or genre of the resource Museum Description An account of the resource The museum is dedicated to Edgar Clerc, Guadeloupe's first archaeologist. In 1972 he donated his collection for the creation of an archaeological museum. Recently, archaeologists from Leiden University opened an exhibition here, which functions as a new narrative of text panels to accompany the existing objects and displays. It begins with some contextual panels, setting the island within the archipelago and its other Amerindian cultures. The first wing has an example excavation as its center piece. Panels here focus on archaeology as a profession. Display cases show lithics, tools, pottery and burials. The route leads through an activity room to the other wing with materials from later periods and the contact period. The center piece here is a model village. The display cases include burials, facial reconstructions and ornaments. Finally, there is information on indigenous peoples today, including the Kalinago and Garifuna.
