Abstract

ABSTRACT Variability across frontiers and boundaries challenges the resilience of expanding populations. Here, we contribute to a broader understanding of global patterns of island colonization and expose the diversity of lifeways experienced across the Taíno culture area by exploring Lucayan settlement of the small subtropical islands of the northern Bahama archipelago. The results of this first comprehensive investigation document the rapid expansion and early arrival of humans in the northern zone (ca. a.d. 900); deviations from traditional settlement patterns and dietary practices, which reflect responses to the unique local environment, including the association of humans with extirpated/extinct animals; sources for pottery imported from the Greater Antillean Taínos; and, a previously unrecognized local pottery variety attributable to the quality of local clay sources. The frontier provides a new perspective on the Taíno core area and raises additional questions concerning life along a historically progressing frontier. Video Abstract:: https://vimeo.com/363737943

热带边缘的岛屿殖民化和人类与环境的相互作用:Taíno边界考古学(巴哈马北部)

跨越边界和边界的变化对不断扩大的人口的恢复能力提出了挑战。在这里，我们通过探索巴哈马群岛北部亚热带小岛的卢卡亚定居点，为更广泛地了解岛屿殖民的全球模式做出了贡献，并揭示了Taíno文化区域所经历的生活方式的多样性。这一首次全面调查的结果记录了人类在北部地区的快速扩张和早期到达(约公元900年);偏离传统的定居模式和饮食习惯，这反映了对当地独特环境的反应，包括人类与灭绝/灭绝动物的联系;从大安的列斯进口的陶器来源Taínos;而且，由于当地粘土来源的质量，以前未被认识到的当地陶器品种。边界为Taíno核心区提供了一个新的视角，并提出了关于沿着历史上不断发展的边界生活的其他问题。视频摘要:https://vimeo.com/363737943
