This book offers a comprehensive coverage of the most recent advances in interdisciplinary
research on the early human settling of the Caribbean islands. It covers the time
span of the so-called Archaic Age and focuses on the Middle to Late Holocene period
which - depending on specific case studies discussed in this volume - could range
between 6000 BC and AD 1000. A similar approach to the early settlers of the Caribbean
islands has never been published in one volume, impeding the realization of a holistic
view on indigenous peoples' settling, subsistence, movements, and interactions in
this vast and naturally diversified macroregion. Delivered by a panel of international
experts, this book provides recent and new data in the fields of archaeology, collection
studies, palaeobotany, geomorphology, paleoclimate and bioarchaeology that challenge
currently existing perspectives on early human settlement patterns, subsistence strategies,
migration routes and mobility and exchange. This publication compiles new approaches
to 'old' data and museum collections, presents the results of starch grain analysis,
paleocoring, seascape modelling, and network analysis. Moreover, it features newer
published data from the islands such as Margarita and Aruba. All the above-mentioned
data compiled in one volume fills the gap in scholarly literature, transforms some
of the interpretations in vogue and enables the integration of the first settlers
of the insular Caribbean into the larger Pan-American perspective
