The Pukara Archaeological Project received funding from the Wenner-Gren Anthropological Association in 2007 for a collaborative museum development project at the Museo Lítico Pukara in the town of Pucará. The multi-year project, which was completed in early 2011 with the support of the Ministerio de Cultura-Puno, involved interviewing potters, weavers, and other community members about the crafts they produce and what these crafts reflect about economic, social, and even political relationships within Pucará. The interviews were conducted by project members and undergraduate cultural anthropology students from the Universidad Nacional del Altiplano-Puno with the support of a number of local colleagues. Additional information and photos will be posted to
