We consider the local contexts in which the objects acquire significance and the meanings disputed in the face of the regulations in force that define them as public heritage assets, placing the practices of their private appropriation on the margins of the legal sphere. The tensions generated and the arguments put forward to justify the continuity of the experiences analyzed allow us to consider how the interplay between the legal and the illegal is sustained by the affirmation of a series of shared principles -between these actors and those who represent legal practices- regarding archaeological objects, their importance for the present and the role of the state in their preservation and care. En este trabajo presentamos las experiencias de un conjunto de actores de distintas localidades del territorio bonaerense que poseen y recolectan materiales arqueológicos. Consideramos las tramas locales en las que los objetos adquieren significación y los sentidos disputados frente a las normativas vigentes que los definen como bienes públicos patrimoniales y que ubican las prácticas de su apropiación privada en las márgenes de lo legal. Las tensiones que se generan y los argumentos esgrimidos que justifican la continuidad de las experiencias analizadas nos permiten considerar cómo el interjuego entre lo legal y lo ilegal se sostiene en la afirmación de una serie de principios compartidos –entre estos actores y aquellos que representan las prácticas legales– sobre los objetos arqueológicos, su importancia para el presente y el rol del Estado en su preservación y cuidado. Neste artigo apresentamos as experiências de um grupo de actores de diferentes localidades de Buenos Aires que possuem e recolhem materiais arqueológicos. Consideramos os contextos locais em que os objectos adquirem significado e os significados contestados face aos regulamentos em vigor que os definem como bens do património público, colocando as práticas da sua apropriação privada à margem da esfera jurídica. As tensões geradas e os argumentos apresentados para justificar a continuidade das experiências analisadas permitem-nos considerar como a interacção entre o legal e o ilegal é sustentada pela afirmação de uma série de princípios partilhados -entre estes actores e aqueles que representam as práticas legais- relativamente aos objectos arqueológicos, à sua importância para o presente e ao papel do Estado na sua preservação e cuidado. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/12003 10.34096/runa.v44i2.12003 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/12003/11467 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/12003/11767 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 44 No. 2 (2023): Anthropology of the public; 85-103 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 44 Núm. 2 (2023): Antropología de lo público; 85-103 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 44 n. 2 (2023): Antropologia do público; 85-103 1851-9628 0325-1217 Archaeological Heritage Legislation Private Appropriation State Margins Patrimonio Arqueológico Legislación Apropiación Privada Estado Márgenes Património Arqueológico Legislação Apropriação Privada Estado Margens Between the legal and the illegal: Archaeological collecting practices in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina) Entre lo legal y lo ilegal: Prácticas de recolección de objetos arqueológicos en la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina) Entre o legal e o ilegal: Práticas de recolha arqueológica na província de Buenos Aires (Argentina) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo enviado a un dossier temático https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=runa&d=12003_oai
