THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME...


When Gudrun arrived in Statia in June 2007, Gudrun knew this island was the place she wanted to call home for the next few years. After returning home in September 2007, Gudrun made a successful return to Statia and will be working as Grant's assistant.


Gudrun is an experienced archaeologist originally from Belgium (she'll take your arm off if you suggest she's from Holland!). Gudrun has worked the last 3 years as an archaeologists running projects all over Holland and the occasional excavation in Southern France and the Near East.


Gudrun is assisting SECAR and other interested groups learn more about the Dutch Monument Legislation. Gudrun is also currently supervising a development on the waterfront which involves recording one of the last standing warehouses. This will project will require excavation, drawing, photography, supervision of volunteers, cataloging artefacts, researching the possible uses of the warehouse and finally report writing. WHEW!!! Volunteers are always welcome to come and give Gudrun a hand!


However, be warned! Gudrun is the driving party force behind SECAR! (Of course only on the weekends, Grant). Gudrun is a familiar with local hangout and activities, although she's just as much fun out as she is in the lab!
