This book offers a comprehensive coverage of the most recent advances in interdisciplinary research on the early human settling of the Caribbean islands. It covers the time span of the so-called Archaic Age and focuses on the Middle to Late Holocene period which - depending on specific case studies discussed in this volume - could range between 6000 BC and AD 1000. A similar approach to the early settlers of the Caribbean islands has never been published in one volume, impeding the realization of a holistic view on indigenous peoples' settling, subsistence, movements, and interactions in this vast and naturally diversified macroregion. Delivered by a panel of international experts, this book provides recent and new data in the fields of archaeology, collection studies, palaeobotany, geomorphology, paleoclimate and bioarchaeology that challenge currently existing perspectives on early human settlement patterns, subsistence strategies, migration routes and mobility and exchange. This publication compiles new approaches to 'old' data and museum collections, presents the results of starch grain analysis, paleocoring, seascape modelling, and network analysis. Moreover, it features newer published data from the islands such as Margarita and Aruba. All the above-mentioned data compiled in one volume fills the gap in scholarly literature, transforms some of the interpretations in vogue and enables the integration of the first settlers of the insular Caribbean into the larger Pan-American perspective.

Empire colonial français : on pense Afrique Noire, Indochine, Algérie. Et on en oublie la Nouvelle-France qui, à son apogée, au début du XVIII siècle, s'étendait sur près des deux tiers du continent nord-américain, de Québec à la Nouvelle-Orléans, des forêts glacées du Canada aux bayous de Louisiane, en passant par les prairies du Midwest. Un Empire dont la clé de voûte fut l'alliance avec les Indiens, qui permit aux Français de s'implanter et de se maintenir au nez et à la barbe des Anglais, plus nombreux, mais confinés sur le littoral atlantique. Colons, Indiens, esclaves africains composaient, surtout en Louisiane, une Amérique française au visage cosmopolite. Cette Amérique, que notre mémoire a occultée, n'a pas entièrement disparu. Les toponymes en témoignent : New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Saint-Louis, Montréal, etc., de nombreuses villes nord-américaines ont cri pour fondateurs des Français. Des millions d'Américains, aux États-Unis comme au Canada, ont des noms d'origine française. Archambault, Bissonnette, Boucher, Colombe, Dion, Pineaux, Roubideaux : imagine-t-on aujourd'hui que ces patronymes sont portés notamment par des Indiens du Dakota ? Parmi les descendants des colons français, et pas seulement au Québec comme on le croit parfois, certains parlent toujours la langue de Molière. Ce legs, on ne saurait le comprendre sans se glisser, au fil de la lecture, dans une pirogue ou dans un canoë à la recherche d'une histoire ignorée.
