titled Rethinking the Divide: Modules and Central Systems

Dr. Romero has paper accepted for
publication
Dr. Aldemaro Romero, Biological Sciences, has a paper
accepted for publication in the Bermuda Journal of Archaeology
and Maritime History. His paper deals with the environmental
history of whale and ambergris exploitation of the island during the
17th century. Dr. Romero did archival research at the Bermuda
Archives and the British Library in London, where he found sources
that supported the idea that despite strong British intentions to
regulate the exploitation, local Bermudans, sometimes in association
with local officials, developed a pirate whaling industry, which set
the stage for the depletion of the local populations of humpback
whales.
