 The Anguilla Guide - A comprehensive directory - Anguilla's Precolumbian History
The rich and dynamic Amerindian history of the island is beginning to be reconstructed as a result of recent work by the Anguilla Archaeological and Historical Society and archaeologists from numerous institutions such as the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, the University of Maine at Farmington, and the University of Pittsburgh.
Long before Anguilla was "settled" by the British (1652), or even "discovered" by Christopher Columbus (1493), the island was inhabited by Amerindians.
Based on archaeological research we now know that like many other Caribbean islands, Anguilla was first occupied by indigenous peoples as early as 1500 B.C. At least two of the sites identified thus far in Anguilla can be attributed to this era, referred to by archaeologists as the "Preceramic" or "Archaic" period.
