La arqueología urbana en la ciudad de Buenos Aires desde la Fundación Azara: apuntes teóricos y sistematización metodológica.

Year: 2014

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Urban archaeology is one of the latest innovations within the broader field of archaeology, though its implementation remains uneven in our country. Publications from the past 20 years highlight the value of discovery and the cultural appreciation of the past as scientific experiences—assertions that define the archaeological approach to understanding the city. In this monograph, we first provide an overview of the current state of the field based on studies conducted by the Azara Foundation. To this end, we consider the contribution of its members to the history of so-called Urban Archaeology, focusing on their various contributions, particularly the projects carried out in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. We then analyze classical perspectives and new approaches that have allowed us to advance our understanding of our most recent past—the one in which we can recognize and identify ourselves, immersed in the continuity of history from the present.
