Reading the earth like a book
Digging up the history of the Caribbean
When Columbus sailed the ocean over 500 years ago, in search of the New World, the first place he stepped ashore was the Caribbean. How did its Indian population live? Was there interaction between the islands? And how was this first meeting of the Old World and the New? For over 20 years, archaeologist Corinne Hofman has been searching for answers in the Caribbean earth.
