Patrimonio cultural y sostenibilidad

Many of the 13 essays in this collection originate from the archaeology symposia of the Society for Latin American Studies held at Bradford University in 1989; others have been commissioned from people engaged in research in Central and South America.

In addition, she analyzes rape within the circle close to the victim, as her rapist was also her neighbor.
