| Sumario: | This is a study of the von Hauenschild collection located at the Museo de Antropología, Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades of the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina. The study is an exploration of the history of the collection through time and space and how it was formed and collected in the province of Santiago del Estero by the German born engineer, Jorge von Hauenschild between 1928 through 1951. The collection consists of over 4000 objects, the largest amount of elements in the collection is ceramics, but it also includes various lithic artifacts and human remains.This paper is the result of the study of the von Hauenschild collection as a part of the Museo de Antropología, (UNC) plan of collection management which intends to revalorize it. From the perspective of collection management the objects in the collection is studied and through analysis of von Hauenschild’s personal archive; we step closer to understand the trajectory of a man that started out as an advocate, in our present perspective, to later transform into a self-thought archaeologist. The study also tries to demonstrate that von Hauenschild used modern methods, for the time, to investigate and reveal the native heritage of the province where he lived for over 30 years. |
