Abstract

This research is carried out in the town of Concepción de la Sierra (Misiones, Argentina). Between the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries its territory was one of the thirty jesuitic reductions founded in 1619. The reduction Nuestra Señora del Ibitiracuá or “Concepción”, is today an archaelogical heritage site within the town itself with materiality all around.

From this past- present articulation the research proposes to study a period of regional history which presents an archaeological materiality as an element present in daily life of the local community. For this reason, we present a methodological proposal for reduction sites in urban contexts. It concerns prospections and oral recordings from interviews. 

Finally, we argue and consider a study of the archaeological materiality distributed at the historical center of Concepción de la Sierra from an archaeological/ anthropological perspective that indicates what are the means by which the social memory is reproduced.
