Dr. Henry Petitjean Roget is a specialist in the prehistory of the Antilles and one of the most reputed French archaeologists to publish works on Antillean Amerindian society. Leading a career as Museum Curator in Guadeloupe, he has published works on both Antillean Amerindian archaeology and anthropology. His works look at Tainos and Callina mythology, their ceramic and rock art, as well as cannibalism. His two recently authored volumes constitute a vast panorama of the Caribbean Precolumbian and Insular Amerindian from the end of the XVth century to the first half of the XVIIIth century. The author underlines in particular, the importance of the Amerindian contribution to the Antillean Creole culture.

The second volume addresses the history of archaeological researches in Guadeloupe and Martinique, the elaboration of a chronology of Amerindian settlements, ceramic and rock art and their functional symbolism. This volume covers a period that dates from the Vth century BC (before our era) to approximately 1450 AD of the present era and the end of Arawak Insular Saladoid evolution. French Professor, Christian Duverger, specialist in Mesoamerica, has written the preface to this work. Professor Jean Benoist, medical anthropologist specializing in Creole societies, has authored the afterword.
