PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF CERAMIC ANALYSIS AND THE MOVEMENTS OF POPULATIONS INTO THE BAHAMAS

John Winter and Mark Gilstrap

The use of chemical analysis has been utilized to determine the provenience of prehistoric ceramics (Wilson 1978). This has allowed people to make inferences about trade networks, the migrations of populations, and the use of the local environment. There have been two main types of chemical composition measurements:

1. mineralogic/petrographic examinations to identify the compounds and minerals present; and

2. elemental analysis to determine the concentration of the constituent elements.

In using the latter case, the concentration characteristics of each element are defined for sherds at a site, and then a comparison of these concentrations with other sherds allows for a decision on possible sources. Normally, a number of sherds from the same site are analyzed and if possible some local clays. Often a number of elements are measured, although a single element can be used (Wilson 1978).

The present study is an attempt to determine whether or not an elemen­tal chemical analysis of ceramics can be a useful interpretive tool for the Caribbean region. The authors have chosen to compare the Greater Antillean regions of Cuba and Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) with the Bahamas. The authors hope to determine the provenience of possible Greater Antillean ceramics that were found in prehistoric Bahamian sites, as well as to make inferences on the migration of populations and trade networks between these two geographical areas. A major reason for selecting these areas is that they have a different geological history. These differences may produce different chemical concentrations in the sources used to make ceramics.

The Greater Antilles' geological history is of a volcanic origin. This has produced an environment rich in igneous and metamorphic materials, which would produce a clay textured soil upon weathering. The Bahamas archipelago is just the opposite. Its history appears to be related to a sedimentary environment derived from calcareous materials. Therefore, to produce a soil with a clay texture in the Bahamas archipelago, the neces­sary non-calcareous components were transported by atmospheric winds from North Africa (Mann 1986).

Therefore, the geochemical diversity of the areas and the methods used in the preparation of the pottery might produce element concentration differences within the ceramics. Some of these differences may be diffi cult to factor out when doing an elemental analysis of ceramics. For example, it would be difficult to identify the actual location of all the clay sources; to account for an individual potter's use of different clays

or mixtures of clays; or to determine whether any ceramics were introduced into a site from outside the area. With this in mind, the authors' initial observations of ceramic sherds from the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas archipelago reveal that the potter's treatment of the clay and the addition of temper produced marked differences between the areas. The Greater Antillean ceramics have a grit-tempering, either with feldspar, quartz, and/or other clastic inclusions, while the Bahamian ceramics have cal­careous tempering, either crushed limestone and/or invertebrate shells (Winter et al. 1985).

PROCEDURES

A total of 62 prehistoric ceramic sherds were submitted for elemental chemical analysis. They were sent to the Geology Department at Indiana University, where they were analyzed by inductively coupled argon plasma emission spectrometry. The elemental analysis tested for the following elements:

1. Percentages of oxides - silicon, titanium, aluminum, iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus ; and

2. Trace elements in parts per million - barium, chromium, copper, nickel, strontium, vanadium, yttrium, zinc.

The authors only analyzed ceramics from the Ostionoid series in the Greater Antilles (Rouse 1986). The authors chose this series because they believe it to be the earliest ceramic series to enter the Bahamas. The Ostionan Ostionoid subseries of ceramics seems to have appeared in eastern Cuba, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico around A.D. 500. Then around A.D. 800 in the north central region of Hispaniola, a new subseries was produced--Meillacan Ostionoid. This subseries spread through western Hispaniola, eastern Cuba, Jamaica, and into the Bahamas. In the Bahamas, the subseries has been classified as Palmetto ware. Winter et al. (1985), however, believe that this is really just an extension of the Ostionoid potters, who were adapting to the calcareous environment of the Bahamas. In the eastern part of Hispaniola around A.D. 1200, the Ostionan Ostionoid subseries developed into the Chican Ostionoid, which then spread to other sections of the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas.

The 62 ceramic sherds were both donated to and collected by the authors. They derived from sites in the following four areas:

1. From Cuba (9 sherds) - Potrero del Mango (5); El Pino (1); Laguna (1); Yaguajay (1); and Loma del Indio (1).

2. From Haiti (12 sherds) - Duplaa (1); Limbe (1); Charitte (1); Macady (2) ', Montholon (1); Meillac (1); Carrier (1); St. Raphael (3); and Isle a Cabrit (1).

3. From the Dominican Republic (12 sherds) El Choco (2); El Carrill (2); Rio Verde (4); and Rio Joba (4).

4. From the Bahamas, Native samples (14) - Adelaide, New Providence (1); Casuarina Point, Abaco (1); Pigeon Creek,

San Salvador (6); Ward, San Salvador (5); and W2C3, Great Inagua (1).

From the Bahamas, Trade samples (15) - Man Head Cay, San Salvador (1); Pigeon Creek, San Salvador (2); Melville, Rum Cay (2); Long Pond, Rum Cay (1); Long Bay, San Salvador (1); East Conch Shell Point, Great Inagua (1); West Conch Shell Point, Great Inagua (1); Nixon, Great Inagua (1); East Salt Pond Hill, Great Inagua (1); and McKay, Crooked Island (4).

The numerical data for each site's elemental analysis were recorded and then the sites were grouped into five categories: Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Trade (Table 1), and Bahamas (Table 2).

Using an SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) computer program frequency analysis, the mean and standard deviation were calcu­lated for each of the previously mentioned elements for each category. These results were then subjected to another SPSS computer program oneway analysis of variance. This produces F statistics, which indicate whether or not population means are probably unequal; and a multiple comparison test, which determines which population means are different.

Initially, the authors compared the results of the Cuban, the Haitian, the Dominican Republic, the Trade, and the Bahamian sherds to see if any elements varied significantly at the 0.05 level of confidence. Using the Scheffe comparison test, which is the most conservative for pairwise comparisons of means, the authors found that the Bahamian ceramics are significantly lower in silicon, sodium and vanadium, but higher in yttrium and calcium when compared with the Greater Antillean and Trade ceramics. There is also a significantly higher level of strontium in the Bahamian ceramics when compared with the other four groups. Surprisingly, there is a significantly higher level of strontium in the Trade ceramics when compared to the Cuban, Haitian, and the Dominican Republic ceramics. This last result may be brought about by the deposition of strontium into the Trade sherds from the calcareous environment of the Bahamas.

In addition, the levels of nickel and zinc are significantly lower in the Bahamian ceramics when compared with the Dominican Republic ceramics, and Haitian and Cuban ceramics, respectively. It would appear that these elements leach out in the Bahamian environment as the Trade ceramics produced a lower level of these elements when compared to the Greater Antillean ceramics, although not significant enough using the Scheffe method.

When the authors compared the Greater Antillean ceramics, they found that the sodium levels for the Cuban ceramics are significantly higher than the Dominican Republic ceramics, using the Scheffe method, with the values of the Haitian ceramics being closer to the Dominican Republic ceramics, but not significant enough. Although the F probabilities were below 0.10 for three other elements (barium, nickel and strontium) they were not significant enough for the Scheffe method. Yet when the authors compared all the F probabilities none were as low as these three elements, except

for the previously sampled sodium which was lower. Therefore, the authors concluded that there was probably a difference among these three elements. The authors then used a less conservative method of comparison-the least significant difference. At the 0.05 level of significance, the authors found that the Cuban ceramics have lower strontium and barium levels than the Haitian ceramics, with the Dominican Republic ceramic values being closer to the Haitian ceramics, but not significant enough. Also the Haitian ceramics have a significantly lower nickel value than the Dominican Republic ceramics, with the Cuban ceramic values being closer to the Dominican Republic ceramics, but not significant enough. The least significant difference method also revealed that the sodium levels of the Cuban ceramics were significantly higher than the ceramics from Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

When the authors compared the Trade ceramics with the Greater Antillean ceramics for the remaining elements tested they found no F probabilities below 0.10, except for the previously sampled strontium, and no significant difference using the Scheffe or least significant difference method.

From these results, the authors reached the following conclusions. First, the Trade ceramics had an origin in the Greater Antilles. Second, it appears that the sodium and barium levels were relatively stable for Greater Antillean ceramics whether they are found in the Greater Antilles or in the Bahamas; however, the strontium levels increased and the zinc and nickel levels decreased for Greater Antillean ceramics left in the Bahamian environment. Thirdly, it appears that the Greater Antillean ceramics might be divided since the barium, sodium, and strontium levels varied between the Cuban and Hispaniolan ceramics, while the nickel levels varied between the Haitian and Dominican Republic ceramics.

To test these conclusions, the authors then used another SSPS computer program hierarchical cluster analysis. This method attempts to identify similar groups of objects based on a variety of attributes, whereby small clusters are ranked individually and then merged to form a larger cluster. The authors chose the Ward method of analysis because the loss of informa­tion in passing from each level is minimized (Massart and Kaufman 1983). This increases the heterogeneity of the samples. Based on the authors' previous results, they then chose to test the following elements: sodium, barium, nickel, and strontium.

The authors then carried out the following cluster analyses on the ceramics from Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic:

1. sodium with barium 2. sodium with strontium 3. sodium with barium and strontium 4. sodium with barium and nickel 5. sodium with barium and nickel and strontium

The authors then joined the Trade ceramics with the Cuban, Haitian, and the Dominican Republic ceramics in the previously mentioned cluster analysis methods. The authors did not cluster the native Bahamian ceramics with any of these groups as they were significantly different for the

WINTER AND GILSTRAP 375

following elements: silicon, sodium, vanadium, calcium, and yttrium. The authors did cluster the native Bahamian ceramics with each other.

The results of the cluster analysis are produced in an agglomeration schedule that lists the squared Euclidean distance coefficient, which states that the distance between two cases is the sum of the squared differences in values on each variable (i.e., the lower the number, the closer the variables group together). A dendrogram is then produced which shows the clusters being combined and the values of the coefficients at each step. The dendrogram from this cluster program does not plot actual distances, but instead rescales them to numbers between 0 and 25. This preserves the ratio of the distances between the steps. Therefore, the greater apart the units the more dissimilar the units.

In comparing the clusters of the Greater Antillean ceramics, the authors observe that there appear to be two major groupings: Cuban and Hispaniolan. This holds true for all five clusters. Unfortunately, all the Hispaniolan ceramics do not cluster into two regions: Haiti and the Dominican Republic. There is, however, some pairing of Dominican Republic ceramics with other Dominican Republic ceramics and likewise for the Haitian ceramics. Fortunately, most of the Cuban ceramics cluster to­gether, except for one, the El Pino site near Manzanilla, Cuba, which is found in the Hispaniolan group. There are also some Hispaniolan ceramics which are found in the Cuban group. A ceramic sherd from the Meillac site near Fort Liberté, Haiti, clusters into Cuba. Yet the ceramic sherds from two other sites near Fort Liberté (Carrier and Macady) cluster with Hispaniola. Two sites near Quartier Morin, Haiti, also separate into two groups: the ceramic sherd from the Duplaa site clusters with Cuba, while the ceramic sherd from the Charitte site clusters with Hispaniola. The Rio Joba site in the Dominican Republic has one ceramic sherd (#2) clustering with Cuba, while the remaining ceramic sherds (#1, #3, and #4) cluster to Hispaniola. These clusters may be the result of trade networks, the migration of populations or an improper choice of elements tested (Tables 3-7).

The cluster analyses comparing the Greater Antillean ceramics with the Trade ceramics found in the Bahamas reveal that the Trade ceramics came from the Greater Antilles and that they came from both groups: Cuba and Hispaniola. There is no one group, Cuban or Hispaniolan, found on a single island in the Bahamas. This could indicate a diversity of trade, popula­tion movements or an improper choice of elements tested.

On Great Inagua, Bahamas, the ceramic sherd from the Nixon site clustered with Hispaniola through the St. Raphael site (sherd B); whereas, the ceramic sherds from the East Conch Shell Point site, the West Conch Shell Point site, and the Salt Pond Hill site clustered with Cuba through the Loma del Indio site, Potrero del Mango site (sherd #3), and the Yaguajay site, respectively. On Crooked Island, Bahamas, a ceramic sherd (#3) from the McKay site clustered with Cuba through the Potrero del Mango site (sherd #4); whereas the other ceramic sherds from the McKay site (#1, #2, and #4) clustered with Hispaniola through the St. Raphael site (sherd B), the Macady site (sherd B) , and the El Carrill site, respectively. On Rum Cay, Bahamas, the ceramic sherd from the Long Pond site clustered with

Cuba through the Potrero del Mango site (sherd #3) , while the ceramic sherds from the Melville site (sherds #1 and #2) clustered with Hispaniola through the St. Raphael site (sherd B) and the El Choco site (sherd #2). On San Salvador, Bahamas, the ceramic sherd from the Man Head Cay site clustered with Hispaniola through the Rio Verde site (sherd #1), while the ceramic sherds from the Long Bay site and the Pigeon Creek site (sherds #1 and #2) clustered.with Cuba through the Potrero del Mango site (sherd #2), the Yaguajay site, and the Rio Joba site (sherd #2), respectively.

The authors also examined the native Bahamian ceramic sherds to see if there was any variation between and within the islands. Unfortunately, when the authors ran an SPSS computer program - correlation analysis, many of the elements were highly related. This high correlation has been taken to mean that the samples are very similar. The authors then selected trace elements which were not highly correlated. This was a difficult process because two ceramic sherds (sherds T and B) from the same vessel at the Pigeon Creek site, San Salvador, produced differing concentrations for similar elements, although they were still within one standard deviation of each other. The authors do not know whether the potter used different clays in the manufacturing process or if this variation is normally found in ceramic vessels. The authors would need to run more tests to determine if the variation of element concentrations is found in other ceramic vessels. Therefore, the authors needed to determine which elements would cluster these ceramic sherds together. The authors obtained both ceramic sherds in the same cluster unit when they clustered barium with chromium, copper, and zinc; and chromium with copper and zinc (Table 8). When these cluster analyses were run, all of the Pigeon Creek site samples clustered together as one unit. This did not hold true for the ceramics from the Ward site, San Salvador; however, 8 of the 11 San Salvador ceramic sherds did cluster together. The New Providence sherd separated out because of its high zinc content, but the other Bahamian islands clustered with the Ward site, San Salvador.

ANALYSIS

By obtaining radiocarbon-14 dates for sites, noting the ceramic decorations and determining the origin of the imported ceramics found in Bahamian prehistoric sites, it may be possible to make inferences about the movement of populations or trade networks within the Bahamas. The Melville site, Rum Cay, appears to be the earliest site in the Bahamas as it has yielded two radiocarbon-14 dates producing an average date of 985 ± 75 B.P. (Winter 1987). The site has yielded both imported and local ceramic sherds which are decorated in the Meillacan style. Two imported (Trade) ceramic sherds from the site, neither of which were decorated, were tested using elemental analysis and appear to have come from Hispaniola: St. Raphael (sherd B) and El Choco (sherd #2).

The McKay site, Crooked Island, appears to be a. transitional site in the Bahamas as it has yielded decorated import ceramic sherds of the Meillacan and Chican styles. Two radiocarbon-14 dates produced an average date of 700 ± 70 B.P. (Winter 1978). The use of elemental analysis reveals the possibility that four of the Trade ceramic sherds, of which none were

WINTER AND GILSTRAP 377

decorated, came from both Cuba (Potrero del Mango, sherd #4) and Hispani-ola (Macady, sherd B; El Carrill, sherd #1; and St. Raphael, sherd B).

Although no radiocarbon-14 dates have come from the Long Bay site, San Salvador, this site has yielded Columbian contact artifacts which would tend to date the site to around A.D. 1492 (Hoffman 1987a). An analysis of the prehistoric ceramics from the site have yielded some native Bahamian wares with a cross-hatched design (Hoffman 1987b), a possible Meillacan trait, and imported wares. One Trade ceramic sherd, which was not deco­rated, was tested using elemental analysis, and it appears to have associa­tions with the Cuban ceramics: Potrero del Mango (sherd #2). If this were indeed the case, it would help to explain why the Lucayans chose to direct Columbus along a route to Cuba and not Hispaniola, the reason being that the Lucayans of San Salvador, Bahamas, had trading networks with the inhabitants of Cuba or perhaps Cuba was their traditional homeland.

It might be possible to speculate that the earliest movements or networks into the Bahamas came by way of Hispaniola with the Meillacan subseries, as evidenced by the Melville site. Then movements or networks came from Hispaniola and Cuba bringing both Meillacan and Chican subseries, as evidenced by the McKay site. The last movement or network into the Bahamas may have come from Cuba, as evidenced by the Long Bay site. The authors doubt that the expansions into the Bahamas were this simple. What they are trying to say is that elemental analysis of ceramic sherds might be used to analyze prehistoric systems.

CONCLUSIONS

From our preliminary study, it would appear that elemental analysis for the provenience of Greater Antillean ceramics is possible, especially to show that imported ceramics from the Greater Antilles were brought into the Bahamas. From this study, it would appear that sodium is the most impor­tant element, as all the cluster analyses produce the same groups regard­less of the other elements. From this, the authors have suggested possible routes of origin for the Trade ceramics found in the Bahamas. These routes were based upon the chemical composition of the ceramic sherds and not the cultural sequence of the archaeological sites, although for the most part sequence and composition do fit together. It would seem that Meillacan potters entered first followed by Chican potters, both from Hispaniola, into the southern and central Bahamas. The central Bahamas may have continued contact with the Meillacan potters from Cuba until the arrival of Columbus in 1492.

The authors believe that this technique could lead to a more complete historical picture for tl}e area, especially on the movements of populations and the use of the local environment. The authors believe that the analysis could yield better results if there were larger sample sizes for each site and ceramic style. The authors also believe that clay samples from the area near the site should be sampled; however, if these are surface clays they could yield differences as a result of atmospheric contamination. Further study is needed to see if elemental concentrations vary significantly enough within each ceramic vessel. Although the authors have proposed many questions which need to be answered, they have also
