Taino artifacts
Taino artifacts refer to objects created by the Taino people, an indigenous group from the Caribbean, particularly in areas like Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Hispaniola. These artifacts include tools, pottery, and ceremonial items made from materials such as wood, stone, and clay. They often feature intricate designs that reflect the Taino’s beliefs, daily life, and connection to nature. Artifacts like petroglyphs, clay figures, and conch shells are important for understanding Taino culture, social structure, and history, especially before European contact in the late 15th century. They provide valuable insights into their way of life and traditions.
