Reliable evidence of the prehistory of small islands in the Caribbean can only be obtained through archaeological fieldwork. This volume outlines recent fieldwork on Barbados, Tortola and the Cayman Islands. The main topics covered are: the cultural background, unoccupied islands, settlement archaeology on Barbados, the Port St. Charles Archaeology Rescue Project, Barbados material culture, settlement archaeology on Tortola, Tortola material culture, Barbados ceramics: scientific analysis, and the economy and subsistence. Illustrated with 107 photographs and line drawings, this book is a mine of information for those researching, teaching or just interested in the Caribbean before Europeans arrived.
