Encyclopaedia of Caribbean Archaeology offers a comprehensive overview of the available archaeological research conducted in the region.
Beginning with the earliest native migrations and moving through contemporary issues of heritage management, the contributors tackle the usual questions of colonisation, adaptation, and evolution while embracing newer research techniques, such as geo-informatics, archaeometry, paleodemography, DNA analysis, and seafaring simu¬lations. Entries are cross-referenced so readers can efficiently access data on a variety of related topics.
The introduction includes a survey of the various archaeological periods in the Caribbean, as well as a discussion of the region’s geography, climate, topography, and oceanography. It also offers an easy-to-read review of the historical archaeology, providing a better understanding of the cultural contexts of the Caribbean that re¬sulted from the convergence of European, Native American, African, and then Asian settlers.
