Hi Julie,
Michelle Terrell did excavations on Nevis in pursuit of a synagogue there.
Though I don't believe she excavated at the synagogue itself, her
bibliography might be helpful.
Terrell, Michelle M. 2005. The Jewish community of early colonial Nevis: a
historical archaeological study. Gainesville (Fla.): University press of
Florida.
