Ongoing Work
- Previous archaeological work has been very limited, despite the uncovering and "restoration" of many of the stone alignments.
- Much of the site has yet to be explored and a number of other stone alignments are known to exist outside the mowed area.
- Except in the burial area, previous excavations have been confined to test pits rather than more extensive, areal exposures.
- Previous work has been largely on the bateyes rather than the spaces between where ethnohistoric sources suggest houses may have stood. Careful excavation in these places may reveal post holes and hut foundations, as well as refuse disposal areas.
- The pottery at the site spans nearly the entire ceramic history of Puerto Rico and it would be surprising not to find some evidence of Archaic peoples at Tibes also. No other similar site has such a long sequence of material.
- An accurate and detailed topographic map may reveal other features that suggest artificial terracing.

Famous quotes containing the words ongoing and/or work:
“When one of us dies of cancer, loses her mind, or commits suicide, we must not blame her for her inability to survive an ongoing political mechanism bent on the destruction of that human being. Sanity remains defined simply by the ability to cope with insane conditions.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
“Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
