Beskrivning

Essays on the history and excavation of a key site for understanding early Spanish colonization in the CaribbeanPuerto Real, Haiti, is the site of the largest and most intensive archaeological excavation of any Spanish colony in the Caribbean. It is a primary data source for understanding all Spanish colonial ventures in the region and a vital archival source for anyone concerned with the early history of European colonization in the New World.The essays in this volume are written by the international specialists who carried out the fieldwork at Puerto Real. They include a firsthand account by William H. Hodges, who discovered the site and brought it to the attention of archaeologists in Haiti and the United States, and discussion of the multiracial interactions of the Spaniards, Indigenous people, and Africans who lived there.
