Towards an Art Historicization of Pre-Columbian Caribbean Archaeology

We really enjoyed this lecture by Lawrence Waldron on indigenous Caribbean art. Besides Arrom and Eugenio Fernandez Mendez, the only other author whose works we've read on "Taino" art and material culture is Ostapkowicz. We don't count Osvaldo García-Goyco's work here since his speculative attempt to link Taino art and symbolism with Mesoamerica was even less successful than Fernandez Mendez's work. Anyway, Waldron's approach here was really interesting, especially for noting continuity and change from Saladoid to Taino period ceramic arts.
