Cuando los límites importan: Dimensión pública e implicancias sociales del trabajo arqueológico

This paper seeks to provide a thoughtful look into the impact of archaeological research in the local context where it develops. With this aim we present the case of El Tonelero (Ramallo, Buenos Aires, Argentina), where we initiated an Historical Archaeological investigation began in 2012 as part of a projectwhich studies the Parana War -1845 and 1846- from a multidisciplinary perspective. We discuss the implications of the construction of a “public dimension” around this investigation, in order to analyze the type of relations that come together with historical contents investigated since the archaeology team started working at the place.
