| Sumario: | The context of deposition is a topic that is frequently mentioned, as an entity that gives meaning to the archaeological record. Its conservation allows to obtain relationships that would be lost when the space where the remains of the past were thrown, was altered. However, it has been considered more an empirical reality, than a theoretical concept, and much less has it been the subject of reflection in the field of urban archeology.
In a dynamic and complex panorama such as the city, the context of deposition is more than a space or soil, since interpretation of findings depends on its analysis. Therefore, that´s an starting point to do archeology, since fragments are linked both to their archaeological space and to the society that gave rise and after discarded those remains.
Due its importance, the objective of this work is to think over the context of deposition within urban archeology, proposing it as an operational concept. |
