Uprooting the INC...


The Instituto Nacional de Cultura (National Institute of Culture) of Peru is charged with protecting archaeological sites. In a sad commentary on their power, someone has uprooted cement posts they installed at the archaeological complex of Acaray. The posts delimit the site. Now they are among the other destroyed material remains that lay scattered. Photo by Margaret Brown Vega, 2007.
