  • The Worlds of the Seventeenth-Century Hudson Valley
    1 The Seventeenth-Century Empire of the Dutch Republic, c. 1590–1672 Jaap Jacobs he overseas expansion of the Dutch Republic, culminating in the “First Dutch Empire,” is a remarkable story of the quick rise to prominence of a small country in northwestern Europe. Much smaller Tin population than European rivals like Spain, England, and France, and without considerable natural resources, the Republic was able within a few decades to lay the foundation for a colonial empire of which remnants are still part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands nowadays. This First Dutch Empire, running roughly from the beginning of the seventeenth century until the early 1670s, was characterized by rapid expansion, both in the Atlantic area and in Asia. The phase that followed, the Second Dutch Empire, shows a divergence in development between the East and West. In the East, ter- ritorial expansion—often limited to trading posts, not settlement colonies— continued and trade volume increased, but in the Western theater the Dutch witnessed a contraction of territorial possessions, especially with the loss of New Netherland and Dutch Brazil. Even so, Dutch trade and shipping in the Atlantic was not solely dependent upon colonial footholds, not in the least because the Dutch began to participate in the Atlantic slave trade. This Second Dutch Empire ended in the Age of Democratic Revolutions, when upheavals in Europe and America brought an end to both the Dutch East and West India Companies and led to the loss of a number of colonies, such as South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Essequibo and Demerara on the Guyana coast.

  • Quaternary Stratigraphy of Suriname 561
    559 QUATERNARYSTRATIGRAPHY OF SURINAME The0 E. WONGl Abstract In this paper the Quatemary sediments of the Coastal Plain of Suriname are highlighted since they were recently subjected to a stratigraphical revision. The Pleistocene Coropina Formation, constituting the Old Coastal Plain, has now formally been subdivided into the Para and Lelydorp Members. The sedimentary history of these units has been well-documented in the past, relating high sea levels to inter-glacials and regressions to glacials. In the light of modem Quaternary stratigraphical considerations and the results of recent Brazilian investigations, the hitherto assumed Late Pleistocene age for the entire Coropina Formation has become questionable. Traditionally, all Holocene sediments in the Young Coastal Plain were grouped into the Demerara Formation. It is now realized that the Demerara Formation comprises widely differing lithologies which should not be grouped in one formation. Moreover, the name Demerara Formation has been associated too closely with the geomorphological unit Young Coastal Plain and with its Holocene age. Therefore it has been proposed to abandon the name Demerara and to attribute the status of formation to two of its most distinct lithologies (Mara and Coronie). Within the Coronie Formation three morphostratigraphic units (Wanica, Moleson and Comowine) represent oscillations of the sea. Part of these oscillations seems to correlate with Brazilian events but additional researchis needed. Résumé Le Quaternaire du Surinam a fait récemment l’objet d’une révision stratigraphique.La Formation COROPINA (Pléistocène) - qui constitue le soubassement de la plaine côtière “ancienne”- est subdivisée en deux membres: PARA (faciès argileux,à la base) et LELYDORP (faciès sableux, au sommet), dont évolution a été interprétée comme liée à des oscillations du niveau marin.

  • By Obianuju Ugwu-Oju CLINOTHEMS of the CRETACEOUS BERBICE
    CLINOTHEMS OF THE CRETACEOUS BERBICE CANYON, OFFSHORE GUYANA by Obianuju Ugwu-Oju A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date ____________________________ Signed ____________________________ Obianuju Ugwu-Oju Signed ____________________________ Dr. Lesli Wood Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ____________________________ Signed ____________________________ Dr. M. Stephen Enders Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Berbice Canyon of offshore Guyana evolved in the late Cretaceous in proximity to a margin that was separating from the African margin in response to the opening of the northern South Atlantic Ocean. The Berbice would be considered a shelf-incised canyon in the nomenclature of Harris and Whiteway, 2011. This study examines the nature of the canyon morphology, fill phases and fill architecture within the Berbice Canyon using ~7000 km2 of 3D seismic time and depth data, as well as chronostratigraphic data from Horseshoe-01 well drilled adjacent to the canyon fill. The Berbice displays composite canyon development with multiple phases of cut and fill. There are six primary incisional surfaces exhibiting a maximum width of 33km, a maximum relief of 1250 m and a composite maximum relief of 2650 m when decompaction is factored. The western side of the canyon system is primarily modified through destructional activities such as scalloping and side wall failures while the eastern side is primarily modified through constructional progradational activities. There are clinothems deposited within the canyon between incisional surfaces I3 and I4, primarily on the eastern side.

This contact between creole languages and the languages that provide the majority of their lexicons leads to synchronic variation in the form of a continuum that reflects the unidirectional process of decreolization. The resulting continuum of varieties ranges from the "basilect" (most markedly creole), through intermediate "mesolectal" varie­ ties (less markedly creole), to the "acrolect" (least markedly creole or the lexifier language itself).

  • Slave Trading and Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Empire: a Global Comparison
    rik Van WELie Slave Trading and Slavery in the Dutch Colonial Empire: A Global Comparison INTRODUCTION From the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century, slavery played a fundamental role in the Dutch colonial empire.1 All overseas possessions of the Dutch depended in varying degrees on the labor of slaves who were imported from diverse and often remote areas. Over the past decades numer- ous academic publications have shed light on the history of the Dutch Atlantic slave trade and of slavery in the Dutch Americas.2 These scholarly contribu- tions, in combination with the social and political activism of the descen- dants of Caribbean slaves, have helped to bring the subject of slavery into the national public debate. The ongoing discussions about an official apology for the Dutch role in slavery, the erection of monuments to commemorate that history, and the inclusion of some of these topics in the first national history canon are all testimony to this increased attention for a troubled past.3 To some this recent focus on the negative aspects of Dutch colonial history has already gone too far, as they summon the country’s glorious past to instill a 1. I would like to thank David Eltis, Pieter Emmer, Henk den Heijer, Han Jordaan, Gerrit Knaap, Gert Oostindie, Alex van Stipriaan, Jelmer Vos, and the anonymous reviewers of the New West Indian Guide for their many insightful comments.

In 1803 ten years of records of the Dutch slave forts in West Africa were put aboard ship for the Netherlands. The archive never arrived at its destination, the Council of the American Colonies and Territories – a successor of the Dutch West India Company1 – in The Hague. It turns out that the archive was captured by the British and finally ended up at The National Archives (TNA) in London. Recently it was rediscovered and its conservation and digitisation funded by Metamorfoze. In the Netherlands the news of this rediscovery was covered by the Dutch National Geographic.2 Metamorfoze is the national programme for the Britain/England (before 1707), Spain and France.
