Tanki Flip and Aruban household architecture
Oranjestad, Aruba (source place-name, not an ancient self-designation)
Post patterns support interpretations of differently sized houses and working spaces. They do not directly reveal every household's composition or status. Museum-led research and its documentation matter alongside comparisons with other islands.
Comunidades, paisajes y evidencias
Paisajes insulares y conexiones
Local settlement developed within an arid island landscape. Oranjestad is a museum-city orientation, not a private site or buried feature. This is an archaeological landscape, not a mapped homeland or jurisdiction.
Organización política y escala comunitaria
House and fence interpretations describe a settlement, not one capital or government for all Aruban communities.
Transformación colonial, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna
Excavation and museum publications provide research history, not ownership or membership decisions. A bibliographic record verifies a publication, not access to its complete evidence. Living heritage relationships require community authority; this profile cannot decide identity, recognition, descent, or membership.
The structural report differentiates larger and smaller buildings while recognizing irregular features.
The institutional contribution documents a collaborative large-scale investigation.
The 1997 bibliographic record identifies a substantial site publication; its unseen contents are not used as factual evidence.
