The Strombus Line is an archeological site in South Coast, Barbuda. It is a linear shellfish midden, with significant quantities of shellfish remains and ancient human tools used during the Archaic Age. Excavations at the site in 2011 and 2012 revealed that Barbuda was likely once a centre of trade in the Archaic Caribbean.[1][2]
