摘要：The Caribbean region has seen a tremendous growth in historical archaeology over the past 40 years. From important, although isolated beginnings in Jamaica, at Port Royal and Spanish Town and Montpelier (Mayes 1972; Mathewson 1972, 1973; Higman 1974, 1998), in Barbados at Newton Cemetery (Handler and Lange 1978), and elsewhere in the Caribbean, the field has expanded at a phenomenal rate. The late 1970s and the early 1980s saw the initiation of several important long-term studies, including Norman Barka's island-wide focus on rural and urban life in the Dutch territory of St. Eustatius (Barka 1996), Kathleen Deagan's multi-year project at Puerto Real and the neighboring site of En Bas Saline in Ha.ti (Deagan 1995), Douglas Armstrong's work at Drax Hall, Jamaica (Armstrong 1985, 1990), and Lydia Pulsipher's decades-long work on Montserrat (Pulsipher 1991; Pulsipher and Goodwin 2001), to name a few of the most important. Subsequently, the mid 1980s to the late 1990s have witnessed a proliferation of projects too numerous to mention, throughout the Caribbean, with only a few areas excepted (for an example of the coverage, see the papers in Farnsworth 2001 and Haviser 1999).
