The case of Bolivian peer-reviewed research that reinterpret the findings of the tomb of Niñokorin (Bautista Saavedra Province, La Paz)
Last February The Museum of World Cultures in the city of Gothenburg (in Swedish Världskulturmuseet) invited two researchers from the Bolivian Institute of Traditional Medicine Kallawaya: Carmen Beatriz Loza and Walter Alvarez Quispe to conduct research on archaeological material remains found decades ago in the tomb of Niñokorin (Northeast of Lake Titicaca region of Charazani). This museum is one of the largest in Sweden and his vocation is analogous to the Smithsonian Museum of Washington (USA) and the recently opened Musée du quai Branly in Paris.
Carmen B. Dishes and Walter Alvarez - researchers expert in indigenous medicines - made a technical analysis of the famous archaeological Tiwanaku found in Bautista Saavedra Province in 1970, from the so-called "tomb of Niñokorin" where they found evidence of medical technology, spatulas, tubes, enemas, baskets to hold plants, dosing spoons, medicinal plants among others.

According to these researchers, the objects - very well preserved - belonged to an adult male who suffered trepanations kallawaya craniocerebral to have survived. His objects are technical tools that were not covered at all by other researchers (Wassen 1972, Torres 1986, Llagostera 1996), who published work on this important finding, and others of similar composition located in the region of Tiwanaku influence or in areas that affect their contact areas. Preliminary results of work carried Loza and Alvarez radically reject many of the findings disseminated in archeology "Bolivia" hallucinogenic complex that considers all material associated with the well known "snuff tables"
With this work, and in an exemplary manner, and Walter Alvarez Beatriz Loza show that much of the findings, interpretations and conclusions from old - and still Recent archaeological work - to be reassessed and contrasted in the light of further analysis as it considers necessary local knowledge and the critical approach.
