“This means, for example, that there is considerable lack of consistency in naming(labeling), and that often the beginning and end points of different periods only partially overlap”( Sanabria, 53).
This is a description of the challenges in archeology due to the lack of a common approach in archeology and the failure to adopt common terminologies that can be used universally. The lack of consistency is also occasioned by the fact that archeology examines a process of change over a period of time and not a single event. This statement shows the challenge I describing pre-European Caribbean culture while ...

Multiculturalism is a subject that we're still trying to understand. The term multiculturalism refers to "a body of thought in political philosophy about the proper way to respond to cultural and religious diversity. Mere toleration of group difference is said to fall short of treating members of minority groups as equal citizens; recognition and positive accommodation of group differences are required through 'group-differentiated rights'" (Song, 2010).
