This project is a digital companion to the publications of the excavations at Tiwanaku (Bolivia): Tiwanaku and Its Hinterland: Archaeology and Paleoecology of an Andean Civilization.

  • Volume 1: Agroecology. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution Press. 1996. Edited by Alan L. Kolata.
  • Volume 2: Urban and Rural Archaeology. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution Press. 2003. Edited by Alan L. Kolata.

The OCHRE Data Service has done a wonderful job of making a beautiful and useful tool given the limitations of a >30 year old database with many inconsistencies and gaps.  I am delighted with the outcome.
