| Sumario: | The archaeology of the province of Córdoba, especially in the southern sector of the Southern Pampean Hills, has been the focus of archaeological research for at least the last 140 years. Although this interest in discovering and studying the ways of life of the pre-Hispanic societies that inhabited this area seems a detailed and synchronous task, the fact is that much of the archaeology of the Sierras has been marked by asynchronous hiatuses of little or no research, where a wide range of researchers and teams have converged in various institutions, adhering to heterogeneous theoretical and practical affiliations. The culmination of research conducted throughout this course has resulted in an extensive array of temporal constructs formulated by the archaeological community to measure and chronologically situate the archaeological time of its objects of study. This paper, without striving for a unification of criteria on the part of specialists, aims to highlight how such constructs were conceived and used at different moments in the development of the discipline, from a qualitative and quantitative approach. We start then from the assumption that there is a large corpus of definitions to refer to a specific moment in time and many of them coexist simultaneously throughout the literature. We thus focus on the premise that time is a fundamental category for our science and that, in general, it has not received a critical treatment by regional archaeology. |
