content: Footage of archaeological expedition to the Atacama Desert led by Clement W. Meighan in 1969. Guatacondo lies approximately 90 miles southeast of Iquique in northern Chile. In addition to the Meighans, participants included Dr. Grete Mostny and Patricio Nunez of the National Museum of Natural History in Santiago, Chile; Dr. Christopher Donnan; and Leonard Foote. Assistance on the dig came from the small village of Oficina Victoria, approximately 25 miles west of the site. The film footage, shot by Joan Meighan, focuses mainly on the excavations and artifacts being uncovered.
