摘要：The Manantial de la Aleta is a flooded cavern in the southeastern Dominican Republic. Organic artifacts recovered from the site include carved wooden objects, gourd vessels, and basketry. The artifacts are of Ta¨ªno manufacture and have calibrated dates ranging from A.D. 1035 to 1420. Some of the artifacts are of types previously unreported from the Caribbean, while others differ significantly from commonly illustrated Ta¨ªno specimens. This paper provides preliminary descriptions of the organic artifacts and offers initial discussions of their cultural implications
