c. AD 800 – 1400: Large-scale excavations at sites like Golden Rock on St. Eustatius have provided some of the most complete settlement plans in the northern Caribbean. Research by A.H. Versteeg and K. Schinkel revealed structured village layouts featuring large communal houses and specialized activity areas. These excavations demonstrated the value of broad-area stripping over small test pits, as it allowed archaeologists to map the social and spatial logic of an entire community. The findings at Golden Rock serve as a primary reference for understanding the domestic architecture and communal organization of Troumassoid-period islanders.
