This book is a Spanish translation of the proceedings of a conference held in 1986. Archaeologists and conservators from around the world met in Mexico City to examine the unique problems associated with in situ archaeological conservation.

Of special note are case studies of three spectacular sites in Mexico: Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan, and Cacaxtla.
