""Curet and Stringer bring together the results of the most recent research at the iconic site and its surrounding region. Finding truly comparative information across sites in the Caribbean region has often been difficult over the years, and the book provides a quantity of useful comparative data. This is an important book for Caribbean archaeology."" --Kathleen Deagan, author of En Bas Saline: A Taíno Town before and after Columbus
