Archaeological research in the Turks & Caicos Islands in the southeastern Bahama archipelago has traditionally explored sites located on larger and presently inhabited islands. In contrast, sites on small, uninhabited, resource-deficient cays were typically viewed as peripheral aspects of the prehistoric settlement pattern, and few were ever systematically excavated. This dissertation evaluates the role that small cays played in indigenous settlement strategies in the prehistoric Turks & Caicos Islands.

520 $a Archaeological research in the Turks & Caicos Islands in the southeastern Bahama archipelago has traditionally explored sites located on larger and presently inhabited islands. In contrast, sites on small, uninhabited, resource-deficient cays were typically viewed as peripheral aspects of the prehistoric settlement pattern, and few were ever systematically excavated. This dissertation evaluates the role that small cays played in indigenous settlement strategies in the prehistoric Turks & Caicos Islands.
520 $a In 2004, a University of Florida undergraduate field school surveyed seventeen small cays and conducted excavations at six small cay sites. This work revealed that small cay sites are not only common across the Turks & Caicos, but also functioned as integral components of the indigenous economy and cultural fabric. Small cays sites fall into one of three categories: outposts, economic hubs, and ritual centers. Each type of site played a particular role in the economic, social, and ritual realms of indigenous society. Significantly, this phenomenon seems to transcend cultural affiliation and temporal context. This fact suggests that West Indian prehistorians should consider the potential role of small cay environments played in indigenous settlement strategies elsewhere in the region.
