P a g e | 81 Pic.25 Map of Columbian Cuba 128 As can be observed, the name Maici sounds phonetically similar to the other surviving terms: maiawasi, malhisi, marisi, mosi, which etymologically places this word in the Taino context and not in the Mayan-Nahuatl realm. As a side note, it is crucial to mention that this region, populated by the Classical Taino, has one of the oldest pre-Tainan iron artifacts ever recorded in Caribbean Archeology. As a matter of fact, in a 1921 excavation recorded by the Museum of the American Indian and the Heye Foundation, it was found that the depth and refuse deposit, along with the type of archaic pottery seemed to give the site an earlier pre-Tainan origin in comparison with other similar sites in the region. What was striking about this site was the presence of an iron spear not corresponding to the Taino context. However, some of the bodies did resemble typical Taino front-occipital cranial modification and traditional Taino body burial position. The images below are from the Maisi site and from a traditional Taino burial from Hispaniola in conjunction with images from a 1996 cave burial excavation at Manantial de la Aleta, Dominican Republic, as comparison. 128 (Helps, 1856)
