Intención del blog

Este blog tiene como única finalidad ofrecer obras referentes a la disciplina arqueológica que esta en algún rincón de este universo paralelo. Este emporio o “proyecto gris de conocimientos benévolos” intenta dar un orden a los “tiestos dispersos” que se encuentran digitalizados aquí y allá para que brinden algún aporte al submundo arqueológico.

La idea principal que guió el reordenamiento de los restos-tiestos, la búsqueda tras las huellas del emporio, es facilitar el acceso a diferentes temáticas sin necesidad de recurrir a un viaje intergaláctico en el cual muchas veces nos perdemos, sin encontrar lo que buscamos, aunque lo bueno de ello, vale decir es el hallazgo de lo inesperado. Creo que desde aquí, si se busca esto ultimo o lo que fuere, puede llegarse al estado de sorpresa, llegando a este blog de manera inesperada apareciendo aquí dentro, restos que asombran, o llevándote de aquí hacia otros lugares inesperados o no tanto.

Este surgió bajo el pensamiento que toda obra fue acción, y sigue siendo en la medida que otros la perciban, la fagociten y regurgiten. No hay mejor obra de conocimiento que compartir.

Lo único que este emporio no contempla, olvidándonos de parte de su definición terminológica, es lo comercial. Si bien, muchas de las obras tuvieron una pata metida en el barro del intercambio de conocimiento por dinero, este no es el único y más puro sentido que moviliza la obra. Y por lo tanto lo que aquí se ofrece es una especie de “ramos generales” del conocimiento, entendido como multiplicidad, no como uno único donde se intercambie tal valor.

Aquí se posteara lo que exista en este universo, o mejor dicho lo que se tenga conocimiento de que exista.

El universo depende del alcance que tengamos en nuestros movimientos, percepciones e intereses. En principio ese alcance se resumirá aquí al cono sur de Sudamérica y sobre todo a la arqueología de Argentina.

Aquí encontraran:

Documentos históricos (crónicas, relaciones, diarios de viaje, etc.) que aporten datos a la arqueología; etnografías (de todo el mundo); temas de las distintas regiones argentinas (patagónica, pampeana, centro oeste, sierras centrales, noreste y noroeste); estudios actualísticos (etnoarqueología, experimentación y Tafonomía); Arqueobotánica, Tecnología (cerámica, lítica, ósea, fuego, etc.), zooarqueología, etc.; teoría y metodología; obras clásicas; tesis; libros; revistas; artículos.
