have recently been released several actions (projects) to be launched at the archaeological site of Tiwanaku , including mention of a new excavation phase Akapana , and initiation of new excavation and conservation Putuni and next phase was excavated in the area Kantatayita as part of a group of interventions that the Ministry of Culture has plans to carry this year within the archaeological theme ( Samaipata , Moxos , etc.), which is highly remarkable and necessary. However, these initiatives launched under the new Ministry status for the national body responsible for cultural policy suffers from the same defects observed the former Vice development Cultures their predecessors, and particularly the national Archaeology Unit ( UNAR), which can not be run directly archaeological intervention actions, but to instruct agencies specializing in this topic to do so, their role should be limited to planning, advocacy, outreach and policy development for the archeology and cultural heritage. Again
hundreds of thousands of petrodollars , money from international cooperation (UNESCO ) and the state will be set forth in these actions, without any obligation or security for the Bolivians about the quality of results and transparency resource management.
There are too many doubts, fears and questions regarding the suitability of these new interventions, especially because they never were acquitted of the comments made at earlier stages of Akapana and criminals interventions implemented in Pumapunku . Today we continue to encourage mass excavation, without the professional staff that allows the standard and continues to fill bags of artifacts (without analysis) the deposits of the Archaeological Museum of Tiwanaku .
is necessary that the Ministry and the UNAR fix these errors and broadcast, both community specializing in archeology and the public in general, the content of the projects they want to implement, its objectives, its methodology, the criteria which will measure their results, resources to be used, control mechanisms and specialized monitoring that and other components used to ensure minimum success and good management.
We know that money (which is good, but also gives a lot of fear) and there is the promise of increased funds for these purposes (which is very pleased the Minister and his officials), but we see no signs of CHANGE, or that there is a genuine commitment to make things right. We need the Minister and the UNAR displayed greater democratic openness to carry out these works (there are no tenders or calls, only see the old traditional dedazo ), the characters in charge (of money and interventions) are the same , whoever the incumbent government ( Banzer, Tuto , Goni, Meza, Belz or Evo), which is not consistent with what is stated in political speeches. We need a new structure for the archaeologists in this ministry and also new people (including archaeologists, cultural managers, anthropologists, lawyers, curators and administrators) to change the face of traditional archeology of the last century. This may not be a big warranty, but it does not bring hope to continue taking the same bitter drink that until now have served us. The same complaint goes for those who manage some of the money involved as the Mayor of Tiwanaku and the Prefecture of La Paz, which must meet their legal responsibilities to the archaeological heritage in the most serious and professional as possible.
Society and government must take action before we have to make us regret for new cases of corruption that involved are new, old, fat and lean fish ( isp ' is , qharachis , suches or umantos ) of the State, Social Movements or university.
