In this book the concept of mobility is explored for the
archaeology of the Amazonian and Caribbean region. As a result of
technological and methodological progress in archaeology, mobility
has become increasingly visible on the level of the individual.
However, as a concept it does not seem to fit with current
approaches in Amazonian archaeology, which favour a move away from
viewing small mobile groups as models for the deeper past. Instead
of ignoring such ethnographic tyrannies, in this book they are
considered to be essential for arriving at a different past.
Viewing archaeological mobility as the sum of movements of both
people and objects, the empirical part of Amotopoan Trails focuses
on Amotopo, a small contemporary Trio village in the interior of
Suriname. The movements of the Amotopoans are tracked and
positioned in a century of Trio dynamics, ultimately yielding a
recent archaeology of Surinamese-Trio movements for the Sipaliwini
River basin (1907-2008). Alongside the construction of this
archaeology, novel mobility concepts are introduced. They provide
the conceptual footholds which enable the envisioning of mobility
at various temporal scales, from a decade up to a century, the
sequence of which has remained a blind spot in Caribbean and
Amazonian archaeology.
