HAVANA, May 9 (Ernesto Roque, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - Cuban
anthropologists were obligated to abandon the building housing the Anthropology
Center because it is in imminent danger of collapsing due to lack of
maintenance.
The building, located in the El Cerro municipality of Havana, was built in
the 1930s and has received no maintenance in the last ten years. A source in the
Center, who would not be identified, said that for the last four years, they
have been writing letters to the Minister of Science, Technology and the
Environment for a solution, but that they have never received an answer.
The Anthropology Center consists of scientists and researchers primarily
studying archaeology and ethnology. The Center houses laboratories, storage
facilities and a museum. Its budget has been recently cut by the government and
several projects had been canceled.
"We don’t even have a building with minimal conditions,"
said the source.
