Reviews for Crossing the Borders
This comprehensive and current archaeometric study of the islands provides a wealth of data and enhances communications between European and New World archaeologists working in the Caribbean. It is an important and much-needed example of collaboration cross-cutting national boundaries in the multi-national region of the Caribbean. - L. Antonio Curet, The Field Museum
