Arqueología urbana:

¿Qué hacemos con Rosario?

Abstract

Rosario’s urban archaeology was started in 1989, through a series of municipal projects, producing extensive knowledge about the city’s past. Although with few publications, this stage was extremely fruitful, both in the identification of the materials found and in the definition of archaeological sites of great scientific potential. However, with the new century that momentum seemed to run out. After 10 years of those works, urban archeology took an unprecedented course, involving anthropological concepts, popular memory and building new research objects. This conference, held at the Fontanarrosa Cultural Center on October 4, 2019, 30 years after that beginning, seeks a reflection on the history of the discipline. In this new era of Rosario’s urban archeology, this conference proposes an appropriation of archaeological knowledge by part of all, foreshadowing a more reflective stage, mostly integrated to society.
