Sumario:Since 2010, out of interest from Pergamino’s municipality, we began to make an archaeological survey in the area where an important battle in Argentine history took place, the “Battle of Cepeda, 1859”. At the same time, the administration of Mariano Benítez started to build a Museum using an old general store. Its inauguration in March of 2015, marked the beginning of a new stage in the development of this archaeological project. In this paper we present the patrimonial process of materials recovered during these years of research, from their understanding as “academic purpose” to their socialization in the context of the museum, taking into account the role of public institutions in its development. We also analized the creation of the museum’s discourse in relation to materiality and the role of community participation.
