During the past few decades, Caribbean scholars on both sides of the Atlantic have increasingly developed and employed new methods and techniques for the study of archaeological materials. The aim of earlier research in the Caribbean was mainly to define typologies on the basis of pottery and lithic assemblages leading to the establishment of chronological charts for the region, and it was not until the 1980's that the use of technological and functional analyses of 410 0$aCaribbean archaeology and ethnohistory. 606 $aIndians of the West Indies$xAntiquities$vCongresses 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zWest Indies$vCongresses 606 $aArchaeology$zWest Indies$xMethodology$vCongresses 607 $aWest Indies$xAntiquities$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of the West Indies$xAntiquities 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aArchaeology$xMethodology 676 $a972.9/01072 701 $aHofman$b Corinne Lisette$f1959-$01055511 701 $aHoogland$b Menno Lambertus Pieter$f1954-$01055512 701 $aGijn$b Annelou L. van$f1954-$01055513 712 02$aSociety for American Archaeology.$bMeeting$d(71st :$f2006 :$eSan Juan, P.R.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454753003321 996 $aCrossing the borders$92489001 997 $aUNINA
