In particular, it focuses on the discussion about the relevance of Darwinian evolutionary approaches such as evolu-tionary ecology, and dual inheritance model for the general study of the ecological and social aspects that influence human behavior and cultural evolution. The complementarity of these frameworks is appropriate to study chan-ges in different time and space scales, and fundamentally, the evolution of cultural adaptations. In this context, is discussed to an exploratory level the contribution of theoretical tools from other materialistic frameworks such as Marxism. For example, the study of the modification and inheritance of particular ecological and social environ-ments that may be the basis for the generation of contradictions between the productive forces and social relations of production, the application of the concept of mode of production in a non-essentialist way; and the impact of technological development and innovations in economic and social changes. Finally, it is postulated that a broad Darwinian evolutionary framework in archeology can be fruitful for the analysis of cultural evolution. Also, it is discussed the scope and limitations of the complementary use of theoretical tools of Marxism. Este trabajo analiza y discute la complementariedad en el uso de enfoques teóricos en arqueología. En particu-lar, se centra en la discusión acerca de la relevancia de distintos enfoques evolutivos darwinianos como la ecología evolutiva y el modelo de herencia dual para el estudio general de los aspectos ecológicos y sociales que condicionan el comportamiento humano y la evolución cultural. La complementariedad de estos marcos es apropiada para es-tudiar los cambios en distintas escalas cronológicas y espaciales, y fundamentalmente, la evolución de adaptaciones culturales. En este marco, a nivel exploratorio se pone en discusión el aporte de herramientas teóricas de otros mar-cos materialistas como el marxismo. Por ejemplo, el estudio de la modificación y herencia de ambientes ecológicos y sociales particulares que pueden ser la base para la generación de contradicciones entre las fuerzas productivas y las relaciones sociales de producción; la aplicación del concepto de modo de producción de forma no esencialista; y el impacto del desarrollo tecnológico y las innovaciones en los cambios económicos y sociales. Finalmente, se pos-tula que un marco evolutivo darwiniano amplio en arqueología puede ser fructífero para el análisis de la evolución cultural. Asimismo, se consideran los alcances y las limitaciones del uso complementario de herramientas teóricas provenientes del marxismo. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1675 10.34096/arqueologia.t19.n0.1675 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1675/1581 Arqueología; Vol. 19 Núm. 3 (2013): septiembre-diciembre; 61-80 Arqueología; Vol 19 No 3 (2013): septiembre-diciembre; 61-80 1853-8126 0327-5159 Darwinian evolutionism Marxism Archaeology Evolucionismo darwiniano Marxismo Arqueología Theoretical complementarity in archaeology: Interweaving darwinist and marxist approaches Complementariedad teórica en arqueología: entrelazando perspectivas darwinistas y marxistas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=1675_oai
