Three Dog and early Lucayan household landscapes
Cockburn Town, San Salvador, Bahamas (source place-name, not an ancient self-designation)
Plant, animal, and fuel evidence shows how residents worked within island environments. The absence of secure house-post evidence limits architectural reconstruction. A few later objects do not by themselves demonstrate a long early-colonial occupation.
Géographie, contexte politique et héritage
Géographie historique
San Salvador's coastal and inland resources supported local choices within wider island connections; an island-town marker protects sensitive deposits. This is an archaeological landscape, not a mapped homeland or jurisdiction.
Organisation politique
Household activity areas and possible extended-family use are interpretations, not proof of a Bahamian-wide chiefdom.
Contexte contemporain
Research revises how fuel, plant use, erosion, and household space are understood. Living heritage cannot be determined from an artifact assemblage. Living heritage relationships require community authority; this profile cannot decide identity, recognition, descent, or membership.
Archaeobotanical work compares domestic activities rather than assuming a uniform island diet.
The preliminary vertebrate report is evidence about recovered animals, not a complete census of meals.
The wood study notes that conclusive post molds were not found; eroded areas may matter.
