| Sumario: | For some decades there has been a silent argument regarding the term archaeology in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences. In this paper I will review the history of the term to identify those uses, their level of relationship, if any, with the archaeological practice that was contemporary to them and how these uses have impacted on the perception of Archaeology as a discipline in the academic field. The goal of a work of these characteristics is twofold: on the one hand, to provide a guide that allows us to know how this argument arose and, on the other, to provide a tool that allows those who work in the archaeology profession to get involved in it and to be able to change our relationship with the rest of the academic disciplines. But to achieve these goals, it would be necessary to take a tour around the last centuries of the Western thought. |
