El centro ceremonial de Caguana, Puerto Rico Simbolismo iconográfico, cosmovisión y el poderío caciquil Taíno de Boriquén

Using a multidisciplinary approach (archaeology, ethnohistory, linguistics, anthropology, and art history) Oliver explores the nature of Taino political-religious power using Caguana's ceremonial space and iconography as its primary context, and further looks into the implications of Caguana for understanding the development and functioning of chiefdom-level societies in Puerto Rico.
