Revision of the cultural chronology of precolonial Puerto Rico: A Bayesian approach

Reniel Rodriguez Ramos et al.

Summary: Recently, little systematic work has been done to assess the validity of the cultural chronology of Puerto Rico. To address this, a radiocarbon inventory was assembled from published sources and grey literature to revise the chronology. The findings show that humans arrived on the island much earlier than previously thought, making Puerto Rico the earliest inhabited island of the Antilles.

Shellfish Collection Practices of the First Inhabitants of Southwestern Puerto Rico: The Effects of Site Type and Paleoenvironment on Habitat Choice

William J. Pestle et al.

Summary: After decades of study, there are still many unknowns about the foraging practices of the earliest inhabitants of Puerto Rico. In this research, differences in shellfish collection practices between neighboring early sites on the island's southwest were attributed to site type, chronology, or changes in local coastal configuration. This work highlights the importance of considering factors such as intra-age chronology, site type, and changes in paleoenvironmental conditions when studying ancient foraging practices.
