Obsidian in the Caribbean islands? Mysterious Ceramic Age glass artefacts in the Lesser Antilles
The Caribbean islands witnessed a population expansion of ceramic‐using horticulturalists during the Early Ceramic Age (ca. 500 BC to 750 AD) from the Orinoco Valley to Puerto Rico. We examined 18 lithic artefacts from Guadeloupe and Dominica initially thought to be obsidian, a material believed to be absent from those islands. We investigated the volcanic or meteoritic origin of this unique and yet unknown material through observation (binocular…
Obsidian in the Caribbean Islands? Mysterious Ceramic Age glass artefacts in the Lesser Antilles
The Caribbean islands witnessed a population expansion of horti-ceramicists during the Early Ceramic Age (ca. 500 BC to 750 AD) from the Orinoco Valley to Puerto Rico. We examined 18 lithic artefacts from Guadeloupe and Dominica, initially thought to be obsidian, a material believed to be absent from those islands. We investigated the volcanic or meteoritic origin of this unique and yet unknown material through observation (binocular, SEM, microt…
Provenance des matériaux lithiques dans les Antilles
Les matériaux lithiques dans le registre archéologique ont toujours été l'objet d'une attention particulière de la part des archéologues, surtout dans les contextes préhistoriques. Ils suscitent une telle attention grâce à leur excellente préservation et au potentiel important qu’ils possèdent pour fournir des informations sur les comportements passés, y compris la mobilité des biens et des personnes grâce aux études de provenance. Bien qu'ils ne…
Lithic raw materials provenance in the Caribbean islands
Lithic materials in archaeological records have always been the object of special attention by archaeologists, especially from prehistoric contexts. They draw such attention thanks to their often excellent preservation, and the information that the intrinsic characteristics of the rocks can yield about past behaviors including mobility of goods and people through chemical analysis and provenance studies. Although they do not represent the majorit…
Participatory Mapping of Mid-Holocene Anthropogenic Landscapes in Guyana with Kite Aerial Photography
The nature and degree of human modifications of humid tropical forests in Amazonia have been widely debated over the past two decades. Many regions provide significant evidence of late Holocene anthropogenic influence by settled populations, but the antiquity of human interventions is still poorly understood due to a lack of earlier archaeological sites across the broad region, particularly pertaining to the mid-Holocene. Here we report on Amerin…

Pre-Columbian Settlement Trajectories in Eastern Dominica
Radiocarbon age estimates from a micro-regional survey of Eastern Dominica provide a chronological framework for Ceramic Age (ca. 400 BC to AD 1492) settlements and population movements in relation to inter-island communities of the Windward Islands. This report covers the design of the survey, the recovery context of the radiocarbon samples, and the implications for the future of research involving Dominica. Although only a small number of radio…
