Conservation of the 14th-16th-Century Samaipata Fort Archaeological Site and Associated Collections
This project, which includes site conservation and upgrades to the site museum, directly supports the Embassy's efforts to promote sustainable growth and the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Bolivia concerning the imposition of import restrictions on archaeological material from the pre-Columbian cultures of Bolivia.
