Essays on the history and excavation of a key site for understanding early Spanish colonization in the Caribbean
Puerto 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.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 491-519) and index.
"Long-awaited monograph concerning archaeological investigations conducted between 1975-83 at this 16th-century Spanish town near Cap Haïtien, Haiti. The results are detailed in 13 chapters by the researchers who were responsible for particular studies. Topics include the contexts and discovery of the site, community organization and the public sector, Spanish households, economy, transculturation, and the site's abandonment and aftermath. Deagan's introduction and epilogue place these investigations in the broader context of historical archaeology"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

CHOICE Review
Scholars have been looking ever more closely at the first European contacts with the New World in order to reinterpret dozens of important historical questions. In this book, Deagan organizes a series of essays focusing on recent excavations of one of the earliest Spanish towns in the Americas. Spaniards resided in Puerto Real, located along the northern coast of modern Haiti, from 1503-1578 and then consolidated its population with other Spanish settlements into the site of Bayah'a, lasting until 1605. The 11 contributions to this volume range from the exciting story of how Puerto Real was first located by William H. Hodges, a medical missionary in Haiti, to the early emergence of a distinctive creole life. Along the way, the authors shed new light on the demise of the Tainos (indigenous inhabitants of the island), the economic activity of the Spanish Caribbean, the enormous impact of Africa on the initial stages of Spanish colonization, and 16th-century environment and diet. Readers captivated by Carl Sauer's classic The Early Spanish Main (CH, Jan'67) will want to see how academics treat similar materials 30 years later. All levels. J. A.
