colisteros;

I am looking for more information

about the discovery of a Taino Indian village

in the Este National Park, Dominican Republic.

Three ceremonial plazas ("bateyes") were found,

as well as the remains of houses. Supposedly these

are the ruins of the village destroyed by

the Spanish in 1503 (the "yukayeke" of

Xaragua?). According to the article, Charles

Beeker & Geoff Conrad, both from Indiana

University, are involved with this project.

Thank you!
