Thanks. We are wrapping up to PO29/Jacana draft report by the end of the year, and I am trying not to miss any of the recent literature. I saw a reference to your volume, and Amazon told me an anticipated publication date (but these are not always very accurate).
I do not know if you are teaching any courses in Caribbean archaeology in the near future. I might be available as a guest lecturer if you have a class interested in PO29 as a site and/or PO29 as a political mess.
Thanks,
Chris

Good day,
I picked interest in you after going through your short profile and demanding it is necessary for me to write to you immediately. I have something very important to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on (ronaldmorr001@gmail.com) for full details.
Best regards,
