| Dr.
Curet has conducted archaeological research in Puerto Rico and
Veracruz, Mexico. He has led regional studies in the Valley of Maunabo,
Puerto Rico and was involved in different research aspects of the
Proyecto Arqueológico La Mixtequilla, Veracruz. He has been
involved also in excavations in several sites in Puerto Rico and
Arizona. Currently, Curet is conducting excavations in the earliest
ceremonial center of the Caribbean, Tibes in southern Puerto Rico. At
this site he and Dr. Lee Newsom are studying changes in social
organization and economy of domestic groups or households and how they
are related to the development of social inequality in ancient Puerto
