考古学家长期以来一直注意到大安的列斯群岛（约公元前 3500-2000 年）第一批殖民者的石制品与尤卡坦半岛东部的石制品之间的相似之处。最近伯利兹北部的考古工作提供了有关大陆组合的特征和年代的更多考古信息。加勒比考古学家的新发现也有助于更清晰地了解第一次人类迁徙到大安的列斯群岛的情况。现在认为第一批加勒比移民很可能来自尤卡坦半岛。
Archaeologists have long noted similarities between the lithic artifacts of the first colonists of the Greater Antilles (ca. 3500-2000 B.C.) and those from the eastern Yucatán Peninsula. Recent archaeological work in northern Belize has provided additional archaeological information on the characteristics and dating of the mainland assemblages. New findings by Caribbean archaeologists also have contributed to a clearer picture of the circumstances surrounding the first human migration to the Greater Antilles. A Yucatecan origin for the first Caribbean migrants is now considered probable.
