SAAA Lecture: Circum-Caribbean currents, trade and colonization
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Flagler Room, Flagler College
Description: The study of contacts across the circum-Caribbean region generally focuses on specialized artifact studies to determine how particular things and people moved across the land and water. Altes will present an often-overlooked aspect of these archaeological investigations, how the natural environment of the Caribbean basin would have structured the movement of people, creating avenues and impediments to travel. Computer models of how people could travel across the region are compared with archaeological data, suggesting links between ancient people stretching from South America to Florida.
