Abstract

Well-curated archaeological collections can be used as sources of information in developing new research programs or to complement established ongoing projects. In addition, with the pace of modern development and subsequent archaeological site destruction, museums may become increasingly important as the only repositories of an obliterated cultural patrimony. I review the papers presented here from the perspective of current issues in Caribbean archaeology.
