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.
Communities, landscapes, and the evidence
Island landscapes and connections
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.
Political organization and community scale
Settlement structures indicate organized local work; they do not establish one Martinican ethnic capital or centralized state.
Colonial transformation, living heritage, and modern reception
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.
The old 295 CE figure is not silently reconciled with later-fourth-century P2 estimates.
The 2018 report describes an upper occupation above the pumice horizon.
AMROCAM compares early ceramic sites rather than assuming one village explains the whole island.

Pre-eruption and post-eruption activity are different contexts.
A dramatic preservation episode must not erase return and adaptation.
