Se aborda el tema integrando los datos obtenidos en recientes prospecciones arqueológicas con el análisis bibliográfi co de tópicos vinculados con el desarrollo de la agricultura moderna. A partir de ello se describen los principales mecanismos de alteración producidos por las actividades agrícolas sobre los restos arqueológicos y la incidencia de ciertos factores ambientales en dicho proceso destructivo. Se analiza también la magnitud de este impacto en perspectiva histórica y se refl exiona acerca de la difícil situación existente entre el progreso agrícola y la preservación de los sitios arqueológicos en la actualidad. Se concluye que las actividades agrícolas son la principal causa de alteración del patrimonio arqueológico en las tierras bajas tucumanas, afectándolo de múltiples maneras. La magnitud de este impacto ha ido en aumento desde hace más de un siglo, hecho que plantea la implementación de medidas urgentes para mitigar esta situación, algunas de las cuales se proponen aquí.
