ARIAS, Ana-Carolina. Archaeology and Vocational Scientific Practices: The Case of Amelia Larguía de Crouzeilles (1875-1952). Hist. Soc. [online]. 2022, n.42, pp.60-84.  Epub Feb 25, 2022. ISSN 0121-8417.  https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n42.91096.

The aim of this article is to analyze the role of vocational practices in science. It analyzes the case of Amelia Larguía, who took part in the debates and discussions around a set of archaeological pieces found in the 1930s in the region of Arroyo Leyes (Santa Fe, Argentina). For this purpose, different documentary collections from different cities of Argentina are used. This is complemented with other sources, such as the inventory and pieces from Larguía's archaeological collection. As a result, this article shows how amateurs were inserted in the networks of circulation of materials and data and how certain vocational scientific practices contributed to shape the central discussions and debates of archaeology in Argentina between the 1930s and 1940s.

Keywords : Science and society; anthropology; scientific dissemination; archaeology; archaeological object; natural sciences; natural history; Argentina; museums; 20^th century.
