Article Title：Urban archaeology in Latin America:: The case of Old Havana, archaeological city
Abstract：
The paper starts by introducing urban archaeology as Latin American subject. We then oppose Portuguese and Spanish towns as two different approaches to city life. Spanish cities were planned, in Renaissance style, as chequered blocks, while Portuguese ones continued in the Medieval wrinkled style. We then turn our attention to the old quarters of Havana, Cuba, and produce a brief introduction to the archaeology of this world heritage site.
