| Sumario: | The archaeology of and in the city of Córdoba poses the challenge of combining multiple interests and actors in a professional practice that intersects academia, the private sector and the state in different ways. In this article, we describe and reflect on this practice and show how this approach guided us to explore these various positions and initiate new investigations. Amongst other, we analyse this context in the search for the establishment of links between academic archaeology and practice under contract, as well as the reflection on the role of archaeology as an agent of heritagization. To execute this, we start taking a critical position towards the discipline that understands archaeology as a product of modernity, that it develops in modern capitalist contexts and, at the same time, has the ability to study that same modern society. We conclude with some ethical recommendations about working conditions and practical and methodological issues for contract archaeology in Córdoba. |
