Fewer than 200 radiocarbon (14C) dates with secure contextual information are available for Cuba, making it challenging to reconstruct Caribbean indigenous population dynamics, their identities and interactions. In this paper, we discussed 21 accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C dates from two mounds (M1 and M2) at the Playa del Mango site (Granma province, Cuba), traditionally associated with the Banwaroid stone tool tradition. The ΔR calculated for the site was –132.0 ± 176 and –164.0 ± 68. The chronology of burials from the peripheral area of M2 suggested that the cemetery was continuously used from at least cal BC 116–AD 241 (2 σ). The domestic area of M2 was used at minimum between cal BC 55–AD 435 (2 σ), which encompasses the use of the funerary areas. An isolated human tooth from M1 [cal AD 125–435 (2 σ)] suggested that this funerary area is later than the one at the periphery of M2, and possibly contemporaneous with the later formation of the M2 shell midden. The archaeological assemblage of the “Banwaroid tradition” is widely distributed in Cuba, and mixed with other archaeological traditions, supporting that a complex web of human interactions took place in the Caribbean in precolonial times.

PLAYA Del Mango，RIO CAUTO，GRANMA，CUBA 考古遗址的年表

少于 200 个放射性碳 (14C) 古巴可以获得具有安全上下文信息的日期，这使得重建加勒比土著人口动态、他们的身份和互动具有挑战性。在本文中，我们讨论了 21 加速器质谱 (AMS)14C 可追溯到芒果海滩遗址（古巴格拉马省）的两个土丘（M1 和 M2），传统上与​​ Banwaroid 石器传统有关。为该地点计算的 ΔR 为 –132.0 ± 176 和 –164.0 ± 68。M2 外围区域的墓葬年表表明该墓地至少从公元前 116 年至公元 241 年 (2 σ) 连续使用。M2 的国内区域至少在 cal BC 55–AD 435 (2 σ) 之间使用，其中包括殡葬区的使用。一颗从 M1 中分离出来的人类牙齿 [cal AD 125–435 (2 σ)] 表明这个墓葬区晚于 M2 外围的那个，并且可能与后来形成的 M2 壳中部同时出现。“Banwaroid 传统”的考古组合在古巴广泛分布，并与其他考古传统混合在一起，
