From the rear cover
"An invaluable source for revealing the range and diversity of Cuban archaeology to North American readers. This book also serves more broadly as a model for the integration of collaborative research across distinct cultures of archaeological and political practice."--Kathleen Deagan, Florida Museum of Natural History
Dialogues in Cuban Archaeology provides a forum for the principal Cuban and American archaeologists to update the current state of Cuban archaeological research--from rock art and potsherds to mortuary practices and historical renovation--thereby filling in the information gap created by the political separation. Each group of researchers brings significant new resources to the effort, including strong conservation regulations, innovative studies of lithic and shell assemblages, and transculturation theories. Cuban research on the hacienda system, slavery, and urban processes has in many ways anticipated developments in North American archaeology by a decade or more. Of special interest are the recent renovation projects in Old Havana that fully integrate the work of historians, architects, and archaeologists--a model project conducted by agreement between the Cuban government and UNESCO.

Shannon Lee Dawdy is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Social Sciences in The College, University of Chicago. Gabino La Rosa Corzo was Research Archaeologist at the Centro de Antropologia in Havana and author of "Runaway Slave Settlements in Cuba: Resistance and Repression."
