| Sumario: | Once Alfred Métraux left the Institute of Ethnology at the University of Tucumán’s University in 1938, a new character took the lead of the Tucumano anthropological field. Radamés Altieri (1903-1942) was an expert in extinct languages. His academic administration lasted from 1938 until 1942. Although he had no academic degrees, he taught Ethnography and Prehistory. His publications and research revolve around two issues: the collections of the Museum and the re-publication of articles already published which dealt with the Argentine Northwest and Chaco Indians. He used ethnohistorical sources both to provide interpretations of archaeological contexts and as auxiliary sources of the study of extinct languages. His short but fruitful research experience gave him entrance to the ethnological and regional field of research at the University of Tucumán. Thus he managed to enter the academic circles in Argentina and abroad. He also became a reference on some topics, namely on Peruvian quipus. This paper analyzes Altieri’s academic life and provides a context for his academic acknowledgement. |
