2017: Oxford University Press published The Caribbean before Columbus, a comprehensive archaeological synthesis by William F. Keegan and Corinne L. Hofman. This work focuses on the diversity and complexity of the Caribbean archipelago prior to European contact in 1492. The authors utilize decades of fieldwork to challenge traditional narratives about indigenous migrations and social structures. By examining material culture, the text aims to reconstruct the “timespacescapes” of the first islanders. It serves as a modern foundational text for understanding the region’s pre-Columbian history and heritage.
