This is a collection of articles dealing with archaeological research in relation to the conservation of patrimony under different conditions and in different parts of the Americas. The sites dealt with in the articles vary from the monumental to the ephemeral remains of hunter-gatherer camps. Some of the topics discussed are: communicating results to a wider public, the increasing importance of involving local communities at each step of the research, the problems confronted when putting together and maintaining the collections, and the mutual dependency between research and protection of patrimony. In Spanish.
