Banwari Trace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banwari Trace, an Archaic (pre-ceramic) site in southwestern Trinidad, is the oldest archaeological site in the Caribbean. Two separate periods of occupation, one between 7200 and 6100 BP (Strata I and II) and the other between 6100 BP and 5500 BP. The presence of only freshwater shells in the lower strata indicate that the site was occupied before Trinidad was separated from the mainland.
