Caribbean Island Worlds: Communities, Voyaging, and Living Heritage

Vivé and settlement around a changing volcanic landscape

Le Lorrain, Martinique (source place-name, not an ancient self-designation)

Volcanic deposits preserved parts of local settlement history, while later reoccupation and farming altered others. Domestic features and changing deposits show why a single catastrophe story or a Pompeii analogy cannot substitute for stratigraphy.

Settlement and environmental sequence context Early centuries CE and later precolonial reoccupation; eruption chronology source-dependent Protected-site record, 2018 preventive excavation, regional archaeological project Le Lorrain, Martinique; approximate regional town orientation only, never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, maritime, treaty, sovereignty, or modern national boundary. Not a burial, sacred-place, private-property, or excavation-access location.
Resumo

Comunidades, paisagens e evidências

Paisagens insulares e ligações

The northeastern Martinique coast below Montagne Pelée contains distinct deposits and occupation areas. The point marks Le Lorrain, not private land or funerary contexts. This is an archaeological landscape, not a mapped homeland or jurisdiction.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Settlement structures indicate organized local work; they do not establish one Martinican ethnic capital or centralized state.

Transformação colonial, património vivo e recepção moderna

Protection, preventive archaeology, and a regional project contribute different records. Preservation varies even within the site and does not represent every island community. Living heritage relationships require community authority; this profile cannot decide identity, recognition, descent, or membership.

Chronology Sources differ

The old 295 CE figure is not silently reconciled with later-fourth-century P2 estimates.

Sequence Reoccupation

The 2018 report describes an upper occupation above the pumice horizon.

Research scale Regional comparison

AMROCAM compares early ceramic sites rather than assuming one village explains the whole island.

Sequência histórica

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Estes marcos servem de orientação e não constituem uma história completa.

  1. Settlement before P2

    The project examines early ceramic communities within a regional archaeological sequence.

  2. Volcanic episode

    Newer project and field records place P2 later than the older heritage notice's 295 CE date.

  3. Renewed activity

    Later features cut the pumice horizon; preservation and farming disturbances complicate interpretation.

  4. Protection and field investigation

    The protection record and later excavation are modern milestones, not dates of one people.

Pre-eruption and post-eruption activity are different contexts.

A dramatic preservation episode must not erase return and adaptation.
