Finding the fun
Games and other forms of play are core human activities, as vitally constitutive of cultural and social practices in the past as they are today. Consequently, play, games and fun should be central in archaeological theory, but our review shows they are anything but. Instead, very few studies deal with these concepts at all, and most of those that do focus on how the affordances play offers link it to ritual, power or other 'more serious' phenomen…
The roots of the Columbian Exchange
The colonization of the Caribbean initiated a process of entanglement of people, goods, and ideas between the "New" and "Old World," which is popularly referred to as the Columbian Exchange. This paper seeks to highlight the multiscalar and material underpinnings of this process of global importance by tracing it to its roots: the earliest encounters between the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean and European colonists. We present a database, ba…
Precolonial/early colonial human burials from the site of White Marl, Jamaica
The recent excavation of three human burials at White Marl, Jamaica ( AD 900–1500), presented an important opportunity to garner new insight into precolonial life and death on Jamaica. The study, undertaken as a part of a collaborative heritage mitigation programme in the wake of planned infrastructural development of parts of the site, focused on burial practices and ancient diet and mobility. The results reveal that the burial treatment of thes…

Studying Pre-Columbian Interaction Networks
There is a single idea to which every Caribbean archaeologist has subscribed: The idea that the history of the indigenous Caribbean is best described from a network perspective, which is most successfully achieved by studying the mobility of its people and their exchange of material and immaterial cultures. This article examines the concepts of mobility and exchange as they have been used in Caribbean archaeology and how they could be used to an …
The Gift of the ' Face of the Living
The Gift of the ' Face of the Living ': Shell faces as social valuables in the Caribbean Late Ceramic Age. The peoples of the Caribbean Late Ceramic Age (AD 600/800-1492) were in contact through intensive and extensive exchange networks. This article takes a close look at the social mechanism behind one of these networks, which consists of face-depicting shell discs or cones. This is done from a gift-theoretical framework that focuses on aspects …
