Overview

Modeling explores canoe travel routes in the Caribbean, suggesting insights into Amerindian connections.

Key Points

  • To analyze Amerindian travel routes in the Caribbean during the early colonial period using computer modeling.
  • Conducted archaeological analysis of early colonial materials and objects.
  • Utilized computer models to simulate canoe routes based on inhabited sites.
  • Focused on connections between Trinidad and the mainland coast of South America.
  • Identified hypothetical canoe routes used by Amerindians before European contact.
  • Found that travel patterns likely changed during early colonial times.
  • Proposed new insights into Amerindian-European interactions in the Caribbean.
