Small islands dwarf large ones in archaeological importance, says a University of Florida researcher, who found that people who settled the Caribbean before Christopher Columbus preferred more minute pieces of land because they relied heavily on the sea. (Credit: iStockphoto/Alexander Hafemann)

Most of the nameless islands I've explored in the Dutch Antilles have old, rusted aircraft debris strewn about from some unlucky smugglers. I've found DC-3 parts on an island near St. Martin where you couldn't land a hang-glider.

No cash or drugs yet.

Small islands could be even more informative if more archeologists would recognize the fact that the ocean was up to 400 feet less high not all that many thousands of years ago. Underwater archeology should be practiced around any island that is of a permanent nature, not to mention the mainland, especially near river mouths.
