Rising seas and coastal erosion are exposing the graves of enslaved people on beaches in the French Caribbean departments of Martinique and Guadeloupe, bringing long-buried remains back into view. Archaeologists say the retreating coastline is revealing new information about people who were enslaved centuries ago, but also destroying sites of historical and cultural importance.
In Saint-François, a town on the eastern tip of Guadeloupe, human remains have been appearing for several years on Raisins-Clairs, one of the island's best-known beaches.
