At the request of the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society, Michelle Terrell (Ph.D., Boston University) and Eva Hill (M.A., University of Minnesota) began an archaeological investigation in 1993 at the location held to be the site of the synagogue of Nevis' 17th- and 18th-century Jewish community upon which stands a small stone ruin.
Furthermore, the artifacts recovered were purely domestic in nature and testify to the site having been occupied by a series of families through 1929 when the last occupants sold the structure to the government.
The archaeological investigation of the Nevis synagogue is one aspect of Michelle Terrell's dissertation on the historical archaeology of a single colonial-period Jewish community.
