Sumario:In the last decades the frontier´s issues have proliferated in the social Sciences in general and in Anthropology/Archeology in particular. The use of concepts taken from other disciplines such as Geography, needs a critical look. In this paper, a review of the evolution of the concepts that have migrated from Geography to Anthropology will be developed, analyzing how these have been transformed to explain the particular social processes studied here. From this critical perspective, the research is addressed on the frontier area and the social processes that occurred during the 18th and 19th centuries in the formation of the current Argentinean Nation State and the consequent disarticulation of the indigenous territory. This work proposes a critical view on the use of concepts rooted in another discipline and linked to a theoretical tradition that is often not questioned by researchers, despite expressing a conflicting interest.
