The duties of the Dirección de Salvamento at INAH include research on and protection of archaeological remains threatened by natural or human agents, as well as scholarly publication and public programs to enhance heritage protection. Economic development leads to construction and to ever increasing threats to the archaeological record. The ten chapters in this volume conmemorate to Dirección's past work and demonstrate its results in projects carried out in the context of construction of roads, gas pipelines, dams, electric lines, and tourist and urban centers. In Spanish.
