Ancient Village in Antigua.
Indian Creek is now a dry streambed, but pre-Columbian people settled here from 200BC - 1300AD. This period covers the transition when ceramics were first developed on the island.
The site was partially excavated in the 1970's leaving large areas untouched. There has been no development, although the Antigua museum website advocates some type of tourism development to preserve the site from more intrusive forms of development. Unesco has suggested Indian Creek as a World Heritage site due to its record of continuous occupation and the transition of ceramic technology.
The location given is only roughly accurate.
Note: Development threatens most important Antiguan archaeology site. See comment.
