The Estate Little Princess Archaeological Project (ELPAP) is based in St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, led by Black archaeologists under the Society of Black Archaeologists. The project examines the lifeways of Afro-Caribbean enslaved peoples living and laboring on the Estate Little Princess sugar plantation during the Danish Colonization. A central focus of the project is to offer free professional archaeological training to HBCU students in the US as well as local youth in St. Croix.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[2]
