Ambrosetti Historia Antropología Argentina Eric Boman Juan B. Ambrosetti History Anthropology Argentina In this article my intention is to discuss and relate the archeologist Eric Boman´s (1867-1924) practices and scientific trajectory with the ways in which he has been remembered by the history of Anthropology and Archeology in Argentina. First, I reflect upon how his scientific trajectory was conditioned by; his own socio-economic position; the way intra and extra institutional networks worked at the time; and the relations of friendship, patronage and enmity he established with certain scientists in Argentina and Europe. Secondly, I consider it necessary to deploy and discuss the ambiguous and marginal place Boman has occupied in Argentinean Archeology in the light of a “disciplinary canonization” of Juan B. Ambrosetti. I present some reflections upon the rivalry and the theoretical and methodological discussions which existed between Boman and Ambrosetti when both were alive and how this rivalry has been emphasized and constructed by following generations. By approaching and analyzing publications from Boman´s time as well as secondary bibliography in which he and his contributions to the discipline are mentioned, I have identified a polarization operation presents Boman and Ambrosetti as complete opposites when in fact their scientific practices in some cases did converge. I argue that this polarization is linked, among other things, to the centrality of methodological specificity in the making of disciplinary traditions. En este artículo mi intención es discutir y poner en dialogo las prácticas y la trayectoria científica del arqueólogo Eric Boman (1867-1924) y los modos que ha sido recordado por la historia disciplinar. Primero, reflexiono sobre cómo su trayectoria científica se vio condicionada por; su propia posición socio-económica; el funcionamiento de redes intra y extra institucionales de la época; y las relaciones de amistad, patronazgo y enemistad entabladas con algunos científicos de su entorno tanto en Argentina como en Europa. En segundo lugar, considero necesario desplegar y discutir el lugar ambiguo y marginal que ocupa y que ha ocupado Eric Boman en la arqueología argentina a la luz de una “canonización disciplinar” de Juan B. Ambrosetti. Presento algunas reflexiones sobre la rivalidad y las discusiones teóricas y metodológicas entre Boman y Ambrosetti en vida y como esta  disputa fue enfatizada y construida con posterioridad. Al abordar y analizar los escritos de época y también la bibliografía secundaria en la cual Boman y sus aportes a la disciplina son mencionados, identificamos una operación de polarización entre los dos científicos cuando en realidad las prácticas de ambos investigadores en algunos casos convergían. Sostengo que esta polarización está ligado, entre otras cosas, al peso de la especificidad metodológica en la confección de tradiciones disciplinares. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
