This volume brings together examples of the best research to address the complexity of the Caribbean past. The diversity of articles in this volume provides exposure to parts of the region unfamiliar to me and offered a deeper representation of the complexity and variability of the Caribbean archaeological record than found in previous publications. ... All in all this publication is a superb reference and research source. ... The work of all the contributors strengthens communication among Caribbeanists, makes available current and innovate views of the past, and demonstrates to archaeologists outside the Caribbean how vibrant and innovative Caribbean archaeology has become. I congratulate the editors for putting together this resourceful, imaginative and forward-looking compendium.
