Resumen:
Berón, Mónica Alejandra y Radovich, Juan Carlos. Retrieving social rights. The role of Archaeology among the Mapuche Argentinian communities. The Mapuce Indigenous peoples of Argentina have been denied in the past and continue to be questioned as 'autochthonous' in the present. In this way their ancestral territories continue to be appropriated and their cultural histories quizzed. The role of archaeologists and anthropologists has been vital in recovering an old ritual space of 'nguillatún', -the annual ceremony-, and in substantiating and revealing the ancestrally of this people in the oriental slope of the southern Andean region and argentine pampas. These actions accompany a process of claiming and recovery of rights and identity by the aboriginal organizations.
