This study presents a re-evaluation of the arthropod ichnotaxa of the Cruziana rugosa Group from bio- and/or lithostratigraphically well-defined Lower to Upper Ordovician siliciclastic sections of southern and central Bolivia. With the exception of Cruziana rouaulti, the ichnofaunas contain all the members of the Cruziana rugosa Group throughout the Ordovician (Arenig to Caradoc) successions in Bolivia. The Bolivian material therefore indicates that these arthropod ichnofossil assemblages are suitable for recognizing Ordovician strata in Bolivia. These findings cast doubt on their use as reliable indicators for a global intra-Ordovician (Arenig to Caradoc) biozonation of Peri-Gondwanan sedimentary successions. Keywords: Cruziana, biostratigraphy, Bolivia, Ordovician. 1. Introduction to the present study.

The sections were drawn with careful attention to: 01) known map relationships,

Bolivia Figure 1: Martín Cárdenas House Museum Abstract The work here presented is a study directed to the conservation and management of the Martín Cárdenas House Museum, a National Monument in Bolivia. Analysis of the values of the building have been made, as well as the description, the current problems surrounding the property and finally a Maintenance Plan is proposed which will hopefully be implemented in the future. This work also intends to introduce the culture of maintenance for historic buildings in the city of Cochabamba Bolivia. 1 Sdenka G. Fuentes Reyes. Bolivia Background Location and History The Martín Cárdenas House Museum is a building located in the city of Cochabamba Bolivia, which belonged to Martín Cárdenas, the most important botanist that Bolivia had, he traveled throughout the Bolivian territory collecting several specimens of native flora, reuniting over 6500 specimens. His prestige passed through the frontiers and most of his explorations where self financed thus demonstrating that research can be made in Bolivia even though the lack of favorable conditions. Figure 2: Bolivia location Figure 3: Martín Cárdenas House Museum location, close to main Square Plaza 14 de Septiembre. and Historical Center.of Cochbamba city. Google earth The building where the scientist Martín Cárdenas lived was donated posthumously on 1973 for be managed by the Prefecture of Cochabamba according to his will. 2 Plan of Maintenance of Martín Cárdenas House Museum Martin Cárdenas (1899-1973) was born on November 12, 1899 in the Cercado province on Cochabamba, Bolivia.

  • Evaluation of the Nature of Tiwanaku Presence in the Cochabamba Valley of Bolivia: a Ceramic Analysis of the Pirque Alto Site (CP-11)
    Plunger UW-L Journal of Undergraduate Research X (2007) Evaluation of the Nature of Tiwanaku Presence in the Cochabamba Valley of Bolivia: A Ceramic Analysis of the Pirque Alto Site (CP-11) Elizabeth M. Plunger Faculty Sponsor: Timothy L. McAndrews, Department of Sociology/ Archaeology ABSTRACT Some of the most important unanswered questions about Andean prehistory center around the expansive nature of the polities that dominated the area before European contact. Tiwanaku proves to leave an especially puzzling record of how and why it established peripheral settlements in different ecological regions. Relatively little is known about the economic, political, and social relationships most of these settlements maintained with the core region. This paper seeks to address these issues as they relate to Tiwanaku settlements in the Cochabamba Valley of central Bolivia. Through the systematic analysis and comparison of decorative elements and quantities of ceramic types from different cultural periods, I have determined that there is a definite degree of interaction between the Tiwanaku core in the Titicaca Basin and the Pirque Alto site in the Cochabamba Valley. INTRODUCTION Figure 1. The Tiwanaku Core Region: The Tiwanaku and Katari Valleys (After Janusek 2004:55) The Tiwanaku polity and its associated cultural remains have been the subject of fascination and debate since at least the time of the Spanish chroniclers. As systematic research began in the late 19th century with figures such as Max Uhle and Adolph Bandelier, one of the first questions to arise was the relationship of the core area of Tiwanaku culture (the Tiwanaku and Katari Valleys in the southern Titicaca Basin- see Figure 1.) to sites in coastal valleys and interior lowlands with significant assemblages of Tiwanaku-style artifacts (see Figure 2).
