Sociedad de Investigación del Arte Rupestre de Bolivia
Partner |
Founded in 1987, the Bolivian Rock Art Research Society SIARB (Sociedad de Investigación del Arte Rupestre de Bolivia) investigates and records rock paintings and petroglyphs; protects and conserves rock art sites; publishes scientific reports; and educates the general public. SIARB has registered 1000 sites in all departments of the country. Rock art in Bolivia has a very long tradition, apparently beginning in the Paleo-Indian period and continuing up to the Colonial and Republican periods. Numerous sites are still worshipped by present-day Indians who regard them as sacred places and realize offerings and rites there.
