c. AD 1200 – 1500: Adornment and symbolic expression in Jamaica are evidenced by unique finds such as a 12-millimeter agate ear spool and a 7-centimeter greenstone pendant sculpted in the shape of a “dog spirit.” The ear spool features a lateral groove and a central hole, which was likely used to insert colorful feathers for added decoration. Additionally, the presence of numerous olive shells—some complete and others broken during production—indicates that beads and pendants were manufactured directly at the site. These high-status items illustrate the wide distribution of specific artistic styles and religious icons across the Caribbean region. Such artifacts underscore the participation of Jamaican societies in broader Antillean exchange networks and shared belief systems.
