Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...to give more than a hint. Jimenez find near Moron, in the northwest corner of Camagiiey province, judging by the published description quoted in another chapter, must have represented the pure Tainan culture or something but little inferior, and this is our most westerly (archeological) outpost on record, so far as the whole complex of petaloid celts, decorated pottery, and clay figurines, is concerned. From this point westward we have on record only sporadic finds of petaloid celts, from such scattered localities as Sancti Spiritus, the Zapata district, Matanzas, San Miguel in Habana province, and from three distinct localities in Pinar del Rio; but whether the typical decorated pottery, carved shell, and the like can be traced that far is a question which further work alone can decide.

In the accompanying map (pl. cIx) the localities known archeologically to have been popu'ated by Taino are shown by solid red spots; the sporadic finds of celts by red circles. In Other Islands.--A study of the collections in this Museum, as well as the works of other investigators, shows us that the Tainan culture, practically identical with that of eastern Cuba, flourished on the island of Haiti and in the Bahamas; a slightly modified form of it, more advanced in some respects, in Porto Rico; and a less highly developed modification of it in Jamaica, whose products are so much poorer in variety and often so...
