Title: "Site Museums and Patrimonial Resources. The Role of the Civil
Society in Northern Chile Archaeology"
The Chilean economy rapid development coupled with governmental social
policies into scientific and cultural research projects do not reflect
the integration of the civil society due to: 1) persistence on old
models of research, and 2) financial support, both public short term
funding, and private subsidy usually as compensation for environmental
permits. This paper argues that these factors do not allow a modern
vision where the scientific activity relates to the socio-economic and
cultural development of the people, mainly the indigenous communities
that inhabit these territories. Three projects are presented as
indicative: Tulor, El Mauro, and Ramaditas/Guatacondo.

Title: "The Evolution of Cultural Heritage Management in Peru:
Decision-Making and Policies for the Preservation of Heritage"
Cultural Heritage Management is a
long-term and integral strategy for planning the development of a valley
or a region for its preservation and the dissemination of its cultural
heritage resources to the public. CHM’s strategy is not unlike a
multidisciplinary research project, which is threaded by a set of
successive and linked phases: planning, study, preservation,
presentation, promotion, sustainability. This contribution surveys the
evolution of CHM projects in the political and economic context of
today’s Peru while exploring the new trendy topic of sustainability in
the management of a very diverse and complex cultural patrimony.

Title: "Coast and montaña examples of archaeological tourism in
Ecuador"
Abstract: Archaeological tourism is slowly modernizing, expanding and
coming of age in Ecuador. A
very brief overview of early efforts precedes some discussion of recent
developments, particularly
on the Ecuadorian coast. The authors then discuss the good, the bad and
the ugly of management of
some sites in the western montaña northwest of Quito, including work at
their site of Palmitopamba,
a Yumbo and Inca monumental site in the tropical rainforest. This work
is put in the context of
Ecuadorian attitudes towards archaeology, the explosion of "ecotourism"
and the importance of
intangible heritage management.

Title: "PATRIMONIO ARQUEOLÓGICO, USOS
SOCIALES Y GESTIÓN CULTURAL, EL MODELO DE INCALLAJTA, BOLIVIA”
Abstract: La crisis de los estados nacionales y los fenómenos sociales
relacionados con el deseo de presencia identitaria en base al patrimonio
cultural, propios de estos tiempos, nos obligan a repensar la
arqueología, su ética, el patrimonio, sus usos sociales y temas de
identidad. En ese sentido se propone un Modelo de gestión cultural
mancomunada, como resultado de una experiencia práctica en torno al
Monumento Arqueológico de Incallajta, que permite refuncionalizar y
operativizar los conocimientos de esta ciencia, para incidir
directamente en la realidad social en el contexto actual; garantizando
además la protección y conservación sostenible del patrimonio hacia el
futuro.
