Introduction to the Dossier: Comunidades locales y arqueología: experiencias de investigaciones co-construidas
Keywords:
co-construction of knowledgeAbstract
In the last 20 years, Argentine archaeology has emerged with new forms of scientific construction, resulting from a critical retrospective look at the discipline (Curtoni, 2022; Endere, 2000; Flores and Acuto, 2014). This shift was based on the recognition of the existence of actors outside of academia who were claiming a place in the study, interpretation, conservation, and safeguarding of archaeological assets. While this can be explained, in part, by paradigm shifts on a global scale, when the academy was challenged by the demands of indigenous social movements (Ferguson, 1996; McGuire, 1992; Ranjan, 2017, among others), it was the legislation of our country that, thanks to the constitutional recognition of the pre-existence of indigenous peoples, opened an arena of frank dispute over the past (see various authors in Briones, 2005, Iturralde, 1997; Gordillo and Hirsch, 2010).
