Description

Addressing using geoinformatics in Caribbean archaeology, this volume is in keeping with case studies drawn from specific island territories, namely, Barbados, St. John, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Nevis, St. Eustatius, and Trinidad and Tobago, in addition to inter-island interaction and landscape conceptualization within the Caribbean region. Geoinformatics is especially very important throughout the Caribbean where website destruction is intense as a result of storm surges, hurricanes, ocean and riverine erosion, urbanization, industrialization, and agriculture, in addition to commercial development along the very waterfronts that were home to many prehistoric peoples. By demonstrating that the region is fertile ground for the applying of geoinformatics in archaeology, this volume places a well-needed scholarly spotlight at the Caribbean.
