El Cabo and the renewal of houses and community
San Rafael del Yuma, eastern Dominican Republic (source place-name, not an ancient self-designation)
Repeated construction and household space place everyday social life at the center of settlement history. Community participation in excavation is distinct from endorsement of this atlas. Architecture can illuminate relationships without making every post pattern an unquestioned house plan.
Comunidades, paisajes y evidencias
Paisajes insulares y conexiones
The eastern coast connected domestic places and maritime landscapes; the marker represents a nearby town rather than excavation or private property. This is an archaeological landscape, not a mapped homeland or jurisdiction.
Organización política y escala comunitaria
The case concerns households and community organization, not a single authority for all eastern Hispaniola.
Transformación colonial, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna
The 2005-2008 work involved residents and museum collaboration. Modern interpretation must keep local relationships and archaeological uncertainty visible. Living heritage relationships require community authority; this profile cannot decide identity, recognition, descent, or membership.
The monograph's 800-1504 frame concerns El Cabo, not the full lifespan of a people.
Successive features support interpretations of building, renewal, and domestic space.
Material histories need comparison with situated written and heritage accounts, not automatic ethnic attribution.
