| Sumario: | In the academic sphere, knowledge is transmitted according to a specific temporal and methodological framework, structured through formal curricular processes. However, when knowledge is acquired outside these frameworks, alternative learning dynamics emerge that are worth exploring. The aim of this paper is to present a fortuitous process of collective knowledge construction in human osteology that led to the formation of a community of practice. Drawing on the experience of the Osteological Collection Team of the General San Martín Cemetery, we reconstruct the formative trajectories that emerged in response to the limited availability of institutional spaces for training in forensic anthropology. In particular, we reflect on shared practices and peer-to-peer exchange that fostered meaningful learning experiences beyond formal academic settings, experiences in which we have participated, and in some cases continue to participate, as undergraduate students and anthropology graduates. |
