GNECCO, Cristóbal. The ways of Archaeology: from epistemic violence to relationality. Bol. Mus. Para. Emilio Goeldi Cienc. Hum. [online]. 2009, vol.4, n.1, pp.15-26. ISSN 1981-8122.

Archaeology has travelled many roads; some of them do not diverge but converge (they are changes of notation, not of content). An exercise on extreme simplification would posit that two of those roads, may be the most visible ones in the last years, lead to distant loci: (a) to the reproduction of epistemic violence against other societies and their histories (a modern project, to be sure, but also multicultural); and (b) to interdiscursive understanding. This paper is a sketch of the findings that anyone venturing into those roads could eventually make.

Palabras clave : Archaeology; Epistemic violence; Multiculturalism; Relationality.
