Lonely Planet review

Jamaica owes much to the influence of the Arawak Indians, whose history is on display at this meager museum atop a large pre-Columbian settlement. Archaeological research has been ongoing here since the 1940s. Hunting and agricultural implements, jewelry and carvings are featured. A reconstructed Arawak village is up the hill behind the museum.

The museum is 200m north of the A1 on the Kingston-bound side of the highway, about 3km east of Spanish Town. Don't try to walk there; instead drive or take a taxi from the taxi stand east of Spanish Town's bus terminal.
