Abstract
The artifact record is an indication of a culture's temporal and psychological boundaries. The design, manufacture, use and subsequent disposal of artifacts mirror the norms of the society. This thesis utilizes these cultural characteristics to delineate the temporal and cultural location of two Antillean Period sites on Middle Caicos, British West Indies. The data consisted of the Antillean Period import ceramics. The data were analyzed using a Multi-response Permutation Procedure to assess frequency distribution within each site. Four hypotheses were tested to determine cultural homogeneity between the sites. Results indicated that the sites were occupied seasonally for a special purpose i.e., salt collection activities.
