Borbón Cave No. 1 contains a key rock art assemblage that likely reflects a significant part of past native Taíno societies’ symbolic thought and beliefs. The grouping has already served to define one rock art style in the Antilles: the Borbón School. Our sample yielded a date of 890 ± 30 BP (1045–1225 cal AD). This result, as well as additional published dates for the region, confirms that these images were created before European contact with the region. Further dating comparison indicates that Taíno artistic traditions persisted for some years after the arrival and settlement of Spanish colonists on the island.engAtribución 3.0 Españajournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1017/laq.2022.37open access903(7/8)Caribbean artTaíno culturecave artBorbón SchoolAMS 14CArqueología5505.01 Arqueología
