ABSTRACT
Coral that was recovered from midden contexts of the Tutu site and sent to Dr Elizabeth Wing is quantified in tables of Chapter 4 but it was not identified by species or examined for signs of use. Coral from other contexts at the site was identified by Jeremy Lazelle with the assistance of Dr Stephen Prosterman, Marine Biologist at the MacLean Marine Science Center of the University of the Virgin Islands. Five major types of coral, Acropera palmata (n=198); Acropera cervicornus (n=21); Diploria (n=94); Montastrea (n=13); and Dichocoenia stoikes (n=1), were identified among the materials that were not analyzed by Dr Wing. No coral was recovered from burial fill.
