Texts and photos emphasize the need of protection of sites as more and more places are affected by vandalism. The editors of the Web site remind of the correct visitor etiquette (“Ten commandments for visitors of archaeological sites”).

There is also information on new projects by SIARB, such as work in the archaeological parks of Calacala and Incamachay, protection of the cave Paja Colorada, a new project in Chiquitanía (Dept. of Santa Cruz) and an exhibition on rock art in Bolivia and SW North America.
