Pre-Colombian Jamaica: Caribbean Archeology and Ethnohistory

Excavations
It probably is not widely realized just how many sites in Jamaica have been excavated
in one form or another. As to whether these excavations have been fully
reported or indeed published at all is another matter. In Appendix A, the “List
of Principal Excavated Sites in Jamaica” included here (and also in the CD-
ROM) details are given of 32 sites recorded by James Lee, where the excavations
have been at least minimally described. These sites are as follows: St. D’Acre
(A3), Bengal (A8), Retreat (A13), Little River (A15), Windsor (A19), Upton
(A43), Bellevue–White River (A45), Braziletto (C2), Hartfield (J1), Fairfield
(J3), Cinnamon Hill (J10), Jack’s Hill (K1), Norbrook (K5), Martello Tower
(K6), Tower Hill (K7), Chancery Hall (K11), Bellevue–Mannings Hill (K13),
Rowe’s Corner (M3), Bottom Bay (M4), Belvedere #1 (O1), Spanish Wood
(O2), Bowden (O9), White Marl (S1), Rodney’s House (S5), Mountain River
Cave (SC1), White Marl Cave (SC5), Stewart Castle (T4), Rio Nuevo (Y4),
Wentworth (Y8), Coleraine (Y19), Green Castle (Y25), and Newry (Y27). The
last four sites were excavated in 1999–2003 as part of the UWI–Murray State
University project in the Annotto Bay area. In another 11 cases no report can
be compiled because we know so little, but what information we do have is recorded
in the CD- ROM under each site, as follows: Armadale (A2), Scarborough
(A10), Liberty Hill (A16), Tydenham (A18), Green Hill (A46), Logie
Green (C12), Long Acre Point (E6), Tamarind Hill (H11), Wareika (K2), Long
