These five artifacts are among the several thousand recovered from the site of a 16th Century Cuban village during joint U.S. Cuban archaeological excavations during the last two summers. Two of these artifacts (top row, right) are examples of unfinished "idolillos," or little idols. These human-shaped figurines were produced at the site and worm by elite members of the group as part of a necklace.
