This volume provides one of the most comprehensive overviews of the
archaeology of a single Caribbean island yet published. Drawing
together scholars from the Caribbean, north America and Europe, all
working from a range of disciplines within the broader scope of
archaeology, and drawing upon recent and innovative fieldwork, the
collected papers touch upon a wider variety of archaeological case
studies. Divided into four sections each under the editorial
supervision of a specialist scholar, the papers contained in this
volume start with an overview of different approaches to the
pre-contact archaeology of the island of Barabdos and focus upon
recent debates and issues surrounding material culture, economic
change and site location. Two following sections focus upon recent
developments in historical archaeology, looking at a series of
urban and plantation case studies, and then the application of
scientific techniques to material cultural and ecofactual evidence.
The final section considers the social implications of Barbados'
past and recent developments in community heritage, education and
management. Extensively illustrated and referenced, this volume
considers in detail the historical diversity of archaeological work
undertaken on the island, yet will also look forward to examine the
key trends and currents that will inform the study of the
archaeology of Barbados in the future. With such a rich wealth of
material, this is a volume that will have considerable impact upon
the wider context of Caribbeanist archaeology, history and heritage
studies.
