The artifacts and material remains of the town offer rich material for comparative research into Euro-American cultural and material development during the crucial transition from the medieval era to the Renaissance. The period when La Isabela was in existence witnessed great innovation and change in many areas of technology. The archaeological evidence of La Isabela's architecture, weaponry, numismatics, pottery, and metallurgy can be precisely dated, helping to chart the sequence of this change and revealing much that is new about late medieval technology. The authors' archaeological research also provides a foundation for their insights into the reasons for the demise of La Isabela. 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zDominican Republic 606 $aSpaniards$zDominican Republic$xAntiquities 606 $aIndians$xFirst contact with other peoples 607 $aIsabela Site (Castillo de La Isabela, Dominican Republic)$xHistory 607 $aDominican Republic$xAntiquities 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aSpaniards$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndians$xFirst contact with other peoples. 676 $a972.93 700 $aDeagan$b Kathleen A$01547167 701 $aCruxent$b Jose?
