Interacting Pre-Columbian Amerindian Societies and Environments: Insights from Five Millennia of Archaeological Invertebrate Record on the Saint-Martin Island (French Lesser Antilles)

Nathalie Serrand et al.

Summary: Archaeological research on the French part of Saint-Martin in the Lesser Antilles documents the history of Amerindian communities on the island from the 4th millennium BC to the 15th century AD. Analysis of invertebrate remains from eight sites spanning this time period revealed trends in resource exploitation by Amerindian communities. These results, when compared with a recent palaeo-climatic framework for Saint-Martin, showcase the intricate ways in which human and natural systems interact.

The pre-Columbian site of Roseau (Guadeloupe, F. W. I.): intra-site chronological variability of the subsistence strategies in a Late Ceramic archeological vertebrate assemblage

Corentin Bochaton et al.

Summary: Evidence for chronological change in intra-site subsistence strategies is rare in the Amerindian record of the Lesser Antilles. The study of the vertebrate assemblage at the Roseau archaeological site in the Guadeloupe Islands shows a more intensive exploitation of aquatic vertebrates in earlier occupations compared to later ones, which focus more on terrestrial fauna. This new evidence highlights the highly variable subsistence behaviors of the Amerindians during the Late and Final Ceramic periods, influenced by complex socio-cultural and local environmental parameters.

Six centuries of adaptation to a challenging island environment: AMS 14C dating and stable isotopic analysis of pre-Columbian human remains from the Bahamian archipelago reveal dietary trends

Rick J. Schulting et al.

Summary: Research shows that early inhabitants relied on near-shore marine resources, which were quickly over-exploited, leading to a shift towards horticulture based on root crops. The Medieval Warm Period likely facilitated the initial settlement of the islands, while the impact of the Little Ice Age is less clear. Despite the relatively short history of pre-Columbian occupation, Lucayan adaptations to the Bahamian archipelago were dynamic and demonstrated resilience in the face of both human resource depletion and climate change.

People have shaped most of terrestrial nature for at least 12,000 years

Erle C. Ellis et al.

Summary: Archaeological and paleoecological evidence suggest that human societies have been using ecologically transformative land use practices since 10,000 BCE, shaping nearly three quarters of Earth's land by that time. The current biodiversity crisis is not primarily caused by the loss of uninhabited wildlands, but rather from the appropriation, colonization, and intensifying use of biodiverse cultural landscapes long shaped and sustained by prior societies. Recognizing the deep cultural connection with biodiversity will be crucial in resolving the crisis.

The human dimension of biodiversity changes on islands

Sandra Nogue et al.

Summary: Islands are among the last regions on Earth to be settled and transformed by human activities, and research shows that vegetation change on islands accelerates significantly after human arrival. This global acceleration in turnover suggests that islands are continuously undergoing change, highlighting the importance of considering long-term human impacts in strategies for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration.

A Simple Method for Quantifying Compositional Correspondence Between Zooarchaeological Assemblages Using Paired Similarity Indices

Christina M. Giovas

Summary: Archaeologists use comparative methods to evaluate ancient sites and human behavior, with similarity indices being a simple and effective way to assess correspondence between different assemblages. The study presents a method for measuring assemblage similarity and classifying them according to dissimilarity, qualitative and quantitative similarity. The method provides a means to quantify assemblage similarity along a defined scale and offers a straightforward approach for understanding how different dimensions of similarity interact.
