Conservation of the Archaeological Collections (4th Century BC to 16th Century AD) at the Archaeological Museum of Jama
This project, which includes conservation activities and the compilation of a comprehensive inventory, directly supports the U.S. embassy’s efforts to assist with post-earthquake recovery and to engage with vulnerable, underserved communities in an economically depressed region of Ecuador.
