En Bas Saline: A Taíno Town before and after Columbus
En Bas Saline: A Taíno Town before and after Columbus
This book details the Indigenous Taíno occupation at En Bas Saline in Hispaniola between AD 1250 and 1520, showing how the community coped with the dramatic changes imposed by Spanish contact. En Bas Saline is the largest late precontact Taíno town recorded in what is now Haiti; the only one that has been extensively excavated and analyzed; and one of few with archaeologically documented occupation both before and after the arrival of Columbus in…

Dendrochronological Dating of Wood from the Fountain of Youth Park Archaeological Site (8SJ31), St. Augustine, Florida, U.S.A
Settled in 1565 by the Pedro Menéndez de Aviles expedition, St. Augustine, Florida, holds great educational, historical, and anthropological interest for current researchers as the oldest continuously occupied European community in the continental United States. Archaeological excavations produced two large (ca. 20 cm diameter) posts from the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park site. Our objective in this project was to use tree-ring dating to …
Strategies Of Adjustment: Spanish Defense Of The Circum-Caribbean Colonies, 1493–1600
This chapter is concerned with the ways in which American circumstances influenced Spanish military institutions in the circum-Caribbean colonies during the first stages of colonization. Its perspective is informed from historical archaeology at military sites in the region, and the discussion is structured by three broad, roughly chronological themes. The first of these is the military organization of initial confrontation and territorial contro…
Environmental Archaeology and Historical Archaeology
Líneas de investigación en Arqueología Histórica
La Arqueologia Histórica no constituye una nueva sub-área de la Arqueología. Sin embargo, su aparición como una sub-área legítima en la conciencia de la mayor parte de los arqueólogos norteamericanos es relativamente reciente. Muchos de los trabajos más tempranos conducidos por arqueólogos en Europa fueron parte de la arqueología histórica, en tanto se encontraron asociados con civilizaciones documentadas de alguna forma por registros escritos

Reconsidering Taíno Social Dynamics after Spanish Conquest: Gender and Class in Culture Contact Studies
Despite the fact that the Taíno people of the Caribbean were the first Native Americans to encounter and coexist with Europeans after 1492, there has been almost no archaeology of Taíno response to that encounter. This study explores the reasons for (and consequences of) this neglect, and their larger implications for American contact-period archaeology. It also challenges prevailing historical models of Taíno social disintegration, drawing upon …
Colonial Origins and Colonial Transformations in Spanish America
Columbus's outpost among the Taínos: Spain and America at La Isabela, 1493-1498
"In 1493 Christopher Columbus led a fleet of seventeen ships and more than twelve hundred men to found a royal trading colony in America. Columbus had high hopes for his settlement, which he named La Isabela after the queen of Spain, but just five years later it was in ruins. It remains important, however, as the first site of European settlement in America and the first place of sustained interaction between Europeans and the indigenous Tainos."…
Reluctant Hosts: The Taínos of Hispaniola
This chapter focuses on “American Indians,” the term by which the indigenous people of the Americas have been known in Western literature since 1492. They had occupied the Western Hemisphere for tens of thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. It was Columbus himself who initiated the use of that term in his mistaken assumption that he had reached the offshore islands of India, referring to them as Yndios and their islands as las Yndia…
Destinies Converged
This chapter discusses the beginnings of European colonialism in America, which took place at La Isabela. Any thoughtful analysis of colonial development must take into account the contours of the original Columbian venture, its failure, and the recasting of Spain's economic and social policies in the Americas in response to that failure. It has been maintained throughout this book that the trajectory of this first colony was profoundly shaped by…

Colonial Transformation: Euro-American Cultural Genesis in the Early Spanish-American Colonies
Archaeological and historical data from two of the earliest sites of Spanish settlement in the Americas (La Isabela, Dominican Republic, 1493-1498; and Puerto Real, Haiti, 1503-1578) indicate that the transformation of Iberian social practice and identity to Iberian-American society and identity was well under way in the households of nonelite Spanish colonists by the early sixteenth century. It is argued that this transformation was conditioned …

The Spanish quest for Empire
Observance of the Columbus Quincentenary has greatest relevance when focused on historical processes at a global scale. Nevertheless, American events and circumstances of the contact period have not received from archaeologists the attention given to the more pre-Hispanic Aztec and Inca.The 16th-century efforts of Spain, and other western European powers, to extend empire overseas into the Americas led to a frontier-state expansion and confrontat…

Mestizaje in Colonial St. Augustine
Although the Spanish occupation of Florida left no apparent mestizo population segment as in modern Latin America, the mestizaje process did occur. Documentary data concerning Indian-Spanish interaction, the St. Augustine Cathedral Parish Records, and archeological data are used to more fully define the process and results of mestizaje in colonial Florida, and to formulate an hypothesis with archeologically-testable implications to explain this p…

A subsurface, modified systematic survey using a mechanical soil auger was carried out in downtown St. Augustine, Florida in 1976.

The auger survey attained this goal, and the results were confirmed by three years of subsequent test excavations. The survey comprised the first stage …
