Book Synopsis Languages of the Pre-Columbian Antilles by : Julian Granberry
Download or read book Languages of the Pre-Columbian Antilles written by Julian Granberry and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2004-08-19 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A linguistic analysis supporting a new model of the colonization of the Antilles before 1492 This work formulates a testable hypothesis of the origins and migration patterns of the aboriginal peoples of the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico), the Lucayan Islands (the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and the Crown Colony of the Turks and Caicos), the Virgin Islands, and the northernmost of the Leeward Islands, prior to European contact. Using archaeological data as corroboration, the authors synthesize evidence that has been available in scattered locales for more than 500 years but which has never before been correlated and critically examined. Within any well-defined geographical area (such as these islands), the linguistic expectation and norm is that people speaking the same or closely related language will intermarry, and, by participating in a common gene pool, will show similar socioeconomic and cultural traits, as well as common artifact preferences. From an archaeological perspective, the converse is deducible: artifact inventories of a well-defined sociogeographical area are likely to have been created by speakers of the same or closely related language or languages. Languages of the Pre-Columbian Antilles presents information based on these assumptions. The data is scant—scattered words and phrases in Spanish explorers' journals, local place names written on maps or in missionary records—but the collaboration of the authors, one a linguist and the other an archaeologist, has tied the linguistics to the ground wherever possible and allowed the construction of a framework with which to understand the relationships, movements, and settlement patterns of Caribbean peoples before Columbus arrived.

Book Synopsis Modelling Archaic Age Settlement Patterns on Jamaica's Southwestern Coast Using the Ideal Free Distribution by : Simon Van Barneveld
Download or read book Modelling Archaic Age Settlement Patterns on Jamaica's Southwestern Coast Using the Ideal Free Distribution written by Simon Van Barneveld and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the three recognized 'Ages' of Pre-Columbian migration into the Caribbean, Lithic (6500 BC to 2000 BC), Archaic (4000 BC to AD 500) and Ceramic (400 BC to contact), evidence for the earliest two has yet to be discovered in Jamaica, which was seemingly not settled until AD 600. This research creates a predictive GIS model, based in the ideal free distribution, to identify likely areas of potential Archaic occupation on Jamaica's southwest coast, understand the impact of modern development on these areas, how they relate to known Redware sites (AD 600 - AD900) and where to begin field survey of these areas. Seventeen areas of high potential (hotspots), based on surrounding environmental variables and lack of modern development, were identified. Discovery of an Archaic Age settlement of Jamaica would potentially lengthen the human history of the island significantly and have significant implications for human migration routes into the Caribbean.
