| Sumario: | As common sense in Anthropological historiography has maintained since the restoration of democracy in 1983, the evaluation of anthropological production in each anthropological discipline has subordinated intellectual efforts to Argentine periodic political shifts ever since the first military coup took place in 1930. This paper questions such notions regarding the Archaeology of Patagonia as it was taught and practiced at the School of Philosophy and Letters in the University of Buenos Aires. Conversely, this paper assumes that it was precisely during the latest military dictatorship, the self-labeled Process of National Reorganization (1976-1983), that a paradigmatic change took place from the Diffusionist Culture-History School of Central Europe, to the Anglo-Saxon New Archaeology. The inception of this shift, which was a methodological break led by archaeologist and professor Carlos Aschero, paved the way for the subsequent theoretical change. His regular courses and seminars for the licenciatura of Anthropological Sciences (Ciencias Antropológicas) provided the main settings of this creative process. |
