El Flaco and household-made landscapes
Laguna Salada, northwestern Dominican Republic (source place-name, not an ancient self-designation)
Houses, mounds, cooking, and plant processing show residents actively making landscapes. Food studies test material evidence against inherited assumptions rather than treating cassava as the only crop or one style as one people.
Comunidades, paisajes y evidencias
Paisajes insulares y conexiones
The northern foothills and nearby valleys linked agriculture and movement. The point indicates Laguna Salada, not an archaeological mound or burial. This is an archaeological landscape, not a mapped homeland or jurisdiction.
Organización política y escala comunitaria
Settlement planning and household work do not establish a single capital or homogeneous chiefdom across the Cibao.
Transformación colonial, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna
Field reports and residue studies document both interpretive advances and sampling limits. Contemporary place names do not determine ancient identity. Living heritage relationships require community authority; this profile cannot decide identity, recognition, descent, or membership.
The field report documents local settlement features rather than a fixed ethnic territory.
The griddle study identifies maize-related practices in its sample, not a dietary percentage.
Comparative shell-tool research supports diverse processing functions.
