BOLIVIAN ARCHAEOLOGY

 

 This page currently presents some images of my experiences in Bolivia.  I hope to have the time soon to be able to develop this page further to include more detailed discussions of the fieldwork I have conducted in Bolivia and present some images of that fieldwork.

  

The following are images of the region in which I did my fieldwork, near the village of La Joya, Bolivia in the Department of Oruro.
