Sumario:In 2019, in Vera y Pintado jurisdiction (Departamento San Justo, Santa Fe) archaeological remains were located in a public space that corresponded to human burials. According to this, both the Commune and the local Museum identified the need to request an intervention, and did so at the Ministry of Innovation and Culture of Santa Fe. Work was derived to the research team of the “Florentino y Carlos Ameghino” Museum, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Ingeniería y Agrimensura (FCEIA) of Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR), which had the archaeological studies concession for the area. This research and outreach team has been working in a joint task related to Cultural Heritage with the Aboriginal Community “Aim Mokoilek” of Colonia Dolores (San Justo, Santa Fe) for more than a decade. Considering this background, an archaeological rescue was proposed within an interinstitutional project which involves the University, the Commune, the Museum and the aboriginal community. Taking into account early diagnoses, the need of an approach from interculturality and critical outreach was identified in order to get over an archaeological rescue instance to put into play and tension: cultural heritage, indigenous ancient territories, human bones remains, treatment from museums and scientific research. In this work we share the experience in pandemic times.
