Abstract
⺠72 AMS 14C determinations from 56 Caribbean wood sculptures in museum collections are reported. ⺠Results range from AD 250 to post-1650, reflecting the artistic legacies of various Caribbean cultures. ⺠Ceremonial seats (duhos) are in evidence in the Greater Antilles by AD 600 and complex drug-related paraphernalia by AD 1000. ⺠Some objects suggest long-term curation. ⺠The methodological issues of dating museum pieces are explored.
