ABSTRACT
In the Virgin Islands, late occupation sites archaeologically comparable to the Tutu site are few. In Puerto Rico, however, documented late Ostionoid sites provide evidence for settlements ranging from single structures (Rivera & Rodríguez, 1991) to villages organized around ball courts and/or central plazas, which served as the foci for social and religious gatherings (Alegría, 1983; Curet & Oliver, 1998; Oliver, 1992; Oliver & Righter, 1998; Rouse, 1992).
