Cultural Heritage Landscapes Post-disaster in Barbuda, Lesser Antilles

Author(s): Sophia Perdikaris; Edith Gonzalez

Year: 2023

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Living Landscapes: Disaster, Memory, and Change in Dynamic Environments " session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In this presentation, we will examine Barbuda’s landscape from a diachronic perspective. The ongoing tension between multiple man-made and natural disasters and a resilient people have successively modified Barbuda’s environment from the earliest peopling at 5000 BP extending to the present day. Big weather events, political agents of change, and the responses of Barbudans to them, call into question the effects these changes have on the memory, identity, and legacy of a people.
