Description: "Long-awaited monograph concerning archaeological investigations conducted between 1975-83 at this 16th-century Spanish town near Cap Haïtien, Haiti. The results are detailed in 13 chapters by the researchers who were responsible for particular studies. Topics include the contexts and discovery of the site, community organization and the public sector, Spanish households, economy, transculturation, and the site's abandonment and aftermath. Deagan's introduction and epilogue place these investigations in the broader context of historical archaeology"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
