Modernización, economía del turismo e interetnicidad en Rapa Nui (1966-2017)
"Este artículo aborda la modernización de Rapa Nui durante el último medio siglo y se pronuncia acerca de algunas de sus consecuencias, hasta el presente en que presiones ambientales y demográficas ponen de manifiesto los límites del proceso. Se analizan los cambios demográficos, considerando una perspectiva temporal amplia y, en especial, el periodo 1966-2017, durante el cual se verifica un rápido crecimiento de población en la isla. Ello se exp…
Surviving Spanish Conquest
Diverse and Dynamic Dietary Patterns in Early Colonial Cuba
The European conquest and colonization of the Caribbean precipitated massive changes in indigenous cultures and societies of the region. One of the earliest changes was the introduction of new plant and animal foods and culinary traditions. This study presents the first archaeological reconstruction of indigenous diets and foodways in the Caribbean spanning the historical divide of 1492. We use multiple isotope datasets to reconstruct these diets…
European Material Culture in Indigenous Sites in Northeastern Cuba
Northeastern Cuba, particularly the modern-day province of Holguin, is one of the areas of the Caribbean with the largest number of indigenous sites yielding European objects. In the sixteenth century, most of these sites maintained direct or indirect links with Europeans, while others were transformed into permanent colonial spaces by the Spaniards. The study of European objects found at these sites suggests that some of these items were acquire…
Slavery of Indigenous People in the Caribbean
Archaeology of Early Colonial Interaction at El Chorro de Maíta, Cuba
Archaeology of early colonial interaction at El Chorro de Maíta, Cuba
Roberto Valcárcel Rojas analyses the construction of colonial authority and the various attitudes and responses of natives and other ethnic groups. His pioneering study reveals the process of transculturation in which new individuals emerged and helps construct the vital link between the pre-Columbian world and the development of an integrated and new history
Pottery Vessel Function and Foodways at El Chorro de Maíta, Cuba
Our approach assumes that pots are tools, containers whose performance characteristics are adjusted to their primary uses. Traditional agricultural peoples generally distinguish among multiple vessel shapes that have distinct intended uses. In this article, we present afunctional analysis of vessel shapes and sizes performed on a sample of 160 rim sherds from the site of El Chorro de Malta, Cuba. These were assigned to 13 defined vessel shapes, m…
Stage of encounters
The Caribbean Sea was centre stage in the earliest, sustained encounters between the New and Old Worlds, heralding the mass movement of people, goods and ideas between two previously unconnected parts of the world. The repercussions of this are woven into the fabric of modern multi-ethnic Caribbean society. However, our current understanding of this important chapter in world history is skewed due to large shortfalls in our knowledge of indigenou…
Archaeological Practice, Archaic Presence, and Interaction in Indigenous Societies in Cuba
This article discusses the basic aspects of the archaeological practice in Cuba, looking at how vital characteristics of the indigenous communities that were established in Cuban territory are valued, and examines details regarding the interactions associated with them. It highlights the role of the Archaic societies as one of the factors for the indigenous presence on the island. Using the analysis of specific themes and key moments, the article…
The Study of Pre-Columbian Human Remains in the Caribbean Archipelago
Indo-Hispanic Dynamics
Metals in the Indigenous Societies of the Insular Caribbean
This title provides an overview of archaeological investigations in the insular Caribbean, understood here as the islands whose shores surround the Caribbean Sea and the islands of the Bahama Archipelago. The handbook brings together examples of the best research conducted by scholars from across the globe to address the complexity of the Caribbean past
Oxygen and Carbon Isotope Analysis of Human Dental Enamel From the Caribbean
This study explores the potential of carbon and oxygen isotope data from human enamel carbonate (n = 50) to contribute to mobility studies in the Caribbean. Most oxygen and carbon isotope results display limited variation, with substantial overlap between islands. However, a few individuals from El Chorro de Maíta, Cuba possess relatively low δ18O and high δ13C. Two of these individuals were previously identified as possible non-Antillean immigra…

Americanae nace como un proyecto conjunto que surge dentro de la Red Europea de Información y Documentación sobre América Latina (REDIAL), y que ha afrontado la Biblioteca de la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID). Esta nueva biblioteca virtual hace más accesibles los libros digitales de tema americanista a los investigadores y usuarios interesados de cualquier parte del mundo
Diversifying the picture
There is a growing interest in cultural contact between indigenous peoples and Europeans following their arrival in the New World. In this article the authors explore local responses to European arrival in Cuba, through analysis of metalwork found in indigenous graves. These studies demonstrate that the local communities valued particular metals quite differently from the Europeans, as the imported materials were incorporated into pre-existing sy…
