Summary:
Espa ol Descripci n: Para las poblaciones ind genas la llegada de Colon al Caribe en 1492 signific una transformaci n y reestructuraci n de su mundo, incluyendo cambios a niveles culturales, sociales, econ micos y pol ticos. En este trabajo se proponen modelos interpretativos sobre la transformaci n del paisaje ind gena al colonial, a trav s de la aplicaci n de una investigaci n arqueol gica regional que integr los conceptos de taskscape y paisajes en conflicto con an lisis estad sticos y de Sistemas de Informaci n Geogr fica para evaluar patrones de distribuci n de cultura material. Como resultado se pudieron identificar y definir taskscapes ind genas a distintas escalas espaciales, que permitieron el delineamiento del paisaje antes de la llegada de Col n. Este resultado fue comparado con evidencias del movimiento espa ol en el norte de la isla, obtenido de fuentes documentales y cartogr ficas coloniales tempranas, lo que permiti observar las bases espaciales y materiales de la transformaci n del paisaje ind gena al colonial. Este trabajo permiti conocer que en la regi n Norte de la isla se puede identificar la transformaci n del paisaje ind gena en dos niveles. El primero, denominado Nivel Cotidiano, fue observado a trav s de los taskscapes en conflicto, los cuales muestran las transformaciones en las tareas diarias llevadas a cabo tradicionalmente por los grupos ind genas, y su disrupci n con aquellas tareas impuestas en el nuevo r gimen colonial. El segundo, llamado Nivel del Imaginario, se divide en dos transformaciones: la primera se identific en la percepci n que los primeros espa oles tuvieron de los grupos ind genas; y la segunda, se observ en el cambio final del mundo ind gena al mundo colonial, donde tanto las pr cticas como las identidades previas fueron integradas y parcialmente desaparecidas dentro de la idea del "Nuevo Mundo". De acuerdo a las opiniones de historiadores y especialistas, a lo largo de este libro se utiliza el top nimo Hayt para referirse al nombre que los ind genas le dieron a la isla, y La Espa ola para referirse al top nimo dado por los espa oles (ver cap tulo 1). English abstract The arrival of Columbus to the Caribbean in 1492 marked a milestone in world history. In both the European and the indigenous world, a set of economic, political and hierarchical networks and relations were defined, structured and changed. These changes affected the indigenous population at different cultural, social and political levels. One way to approach the transformations that occurred in the indigenous world is by studying material culture patterns and their spatial distribution. In this work a regional archaeological investigation was combined with a theoretical framework that integrated the concepts of taskscape and contested landscapes with statistical analysis and Geographic Information Systems to evaluate the patterns of material culture distribution and its cultural implications. The research project was carried out on the coast of the current Montecristi province in northwest Dominican Republic. The theories and methods were applied to different archaeological spatial patterns as well as a set of environmental characteristics. This allowed indigenous taskscapes to be defined at different spatial scales, which in turn permitted the delineation of the indigenous landscape before the arrival of Columbus. The archaeological results were compared with evidence from the early colonial chronicles and cartography for the north of the island. This comparison highlighted the spatial and material bases for the transformation of the indigenous landscape. The final results were encapsulated by two transformations of the indigenous landscape. The first, called the Everyday Level, was observed through contested taskscapes, which reveal how traditional daily tasks undertaken by indigenous groups were transformed and disrupted by the new colonial regime. The second, called the Imaginary
