description This article aims to analyze the popularization of prehistoric archeology in Argentina at the beginning of the 20th century, based on the study of visual devices created and used to present knowledge about the origin and evolution of man. To this end, we present three examples of the forms acquired by this knowledge and the practices associated with its study: the visual course of the explanatory hypotheses about the ways of life of the first inhabitants of the Río de La Plata region, the presentation of images about the archaeological work in the graphic press and the exhibition of prehistoric life in museums and theme park projects. Through these cases we analyze the mechanisms that operated in the construction and circulation of knowledge about archeology in different contexts and for diverse audiences. The study of visuality from its condition of images-artifacts, that is, due to its material and representational nature, allows us to problematize the relationships that social groups have had with the creation and promotion of knowledge around times and ways of life in the past.
