They have been in the Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña for more than 20 years, being exhibited alternately one at a time. The aim of this paper is to reflect on the disputes surrounding human remains kept in museums, becoming the target of scientific research or exhibition, taking the case of the Llullaillaco-Yuyay Yaku Wawakuna children as a departure point. The conflicts and interests surrounding the treatment of human remains lead us to rethink the place of archaeology in the current context of the relationship between the nation-state and indigenous peoples in Argentina. To this end, the concepts of communalization processes and the particularities of the nation-state concerning indigenous groups, as well as the framework of state regulations through laws, are recovered. This first approach allowed us to understand that restitution claims are part of the daily struggles of indigenous communities in the dispute for their autonomy vis-à-vis the Nation-State. En el año 1999 una expedición financiada por la National Geographic encontró los cuerpos de tres niños congelados a 6.700 m de altura en el volcán Llullaillaco, ubicado en la provincia de Salta. Hasta el día de hoy, llevan más de 20 años en el Museo de Arqueología de Alta Montaña, exhibiéndose de manera alternada de a uno por vez. El objetivo de este trabajo es reflexionar acerca de las disputas alrededor de los restos humanos que se encuentran en museos y que son objeto de investigación científica o de exposición, tomando como disparador el caso de los niños de Llullaillaco-Yuyay Yaku Wawakuna. Los conflictos e intereses en torno al tratamiento de los restos humanos nos llevan a repensar el lugar de la arqueología en el contexto actual de la relación entre el Estado-nación y los pueblos indígenas en Argentina. Para ello se recuperan los conceptos en torno a los procesos de comunalización y las particularidades del Estado-nación en la actualidad en lo referido a los grupos indígenas, así como al marco de regulaciones estatales a través de las leyes. Esta primera aproximación nos permitió dar cuenta de que los reclamos de restitución están atravesados y forman parte de las luchas que cotidianamente llevan las comunidades indígenas en las disputas por su autonomía frente al Estado-Nación. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/10362 10.34096/arqueologia.t28.n3.10362 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/10362/10524 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/10362/12067 Derechos de autor 2022 Agustina Longo Arqueología; Vol. 28 No. 3 (2022): September-December; 10362 Arqueología; Vol. 28 Núm. 3 (2022): septiembre-diciembre; 10362 1853-8126 0327-5159 Restitutions Indigenous peoples Human remains Nation-State Restituciones Pueblos indígenas Restos humanos Estado-Nación Multiple meanings and disputes about the Llullaillaco children.
