Indian Chief







Let's smoke



The first site, a Taino village on the northern coast of Cuba now known as Los Buchillones,
has been protected from decay in a layer of clay at the bottom of a shallow lagoon.

Last May a Canadian-Cuban team discovered the nearly intact remains of a Taino dwelling
buried in the muck. It has since located the foundation of as many as 40 structures, most
likely a combination of communal buildings, outbuildings and single-family houses.



The site is so extensive, says David Pendergast of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, that

"There's no doubt that a regional chief would have been based there. It may have been one
of the Taino's major centers."
