Abstract
La práctica arqueológica en espacios urbanos de reconocido valor patrimonial, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, se ha desarrollado a la par de estrategias de restauración y rehabilitación, que no siempre han concebido de manera integral sus programas. En estos planes se aprecia que lo prioritario ha tenido un mayor peso en las disciplinas de carácter técnico que intervienen en el Patrimonio edificado, con mejores y peores resultados para el conocimiento de las ciudades como conjuntos históricos urbanos. Conscientes de esta problemática -y acorde a las nuevas concepciones sobre gestión, Patrimonio y cultura validadas en recomendaciones generadas por la UNESCO- desde la arqueología planteamos un enfoque investigativo más flexible como alternativa para diseñar modelos de trabajo orientados a la protección y divulgación del Patrimonio arqueológico, que además permita articular el conocimiento histórico-arqueológico de la ciudad con la evolución de la ciudad misma y la comunidad que interactúa con ella. En el presente trabajo se hará énfasis en el esquema de trabajo que se ha diseñado para promover la Arqueología Preventiva en el ámbito de la interpretación y la difusión. Se expondrán brevemente algunos de los resultados alcanzados en cada área de acción del modelo de gestión desarrollado, así como las líneas investigativas en proceso, con el objetivo de generar un espacio para el intercambio de experiencias en este sentido, y de este modo potenciar mecanismos y estrategias que promuevan una adecuada gestión del Patrimonio arqueológico en ámbito urbano, transitando desde su expresión concreta como “evidencia arqueológica” hasta su “apropiación” en las áreas profesional y pública.
Archaeological practice in local and foreign urban sites with remarkable heritage values has been developed together with restoration and rehabilitation strategies. Unfortunately, these strategies have not always developed integral programs and it has been observed that priorities have had more importance in the area of technical disciplines involved with the built heritage. Eventually, results may be better or worse when it comes to get to know urban historic centers. We are aware of these difficulties, so from the point of view of archaeology, we have raised a more flexible approach for researches. This would help designing models which will be an alternative for work, aimed at the protection of the archaeological heritage and its dissemination. Likewise, the approach would contribute to articulate the historic and archaeological knowledge of the city with its development and the community that lives in it. UNESCO´s recommendations covering the new concepts on management, heritage and culture have been observed in this regard. This paper will focus on the working plan that has been designed to promote preventive archaeology within the frame of interpretation and dissemination. Some of the results already accomplished in each area of action by the management model developed will be discussed. Research lines already underway to contribute to an exchange of experiences in this regard, and consequently, foster ways and strategies to promote the right management of the archaeological heritage in the urban setting would also be dealt with. These results go right from the “archaeological evidence” up to the “appropriation”, whether by the public or professionals.
