This paper ponders a number of theoretical and methodological aspects concerning historical archaeology and resulting from the analysis of their development and integration with disciplines such as history, ethnohistory, and anthropology. Special attention is paid to how these are involved in the research of documentary evidence and how the different approaches have an influence on a given case. The authors´ viewpoint in the matter is explained and reported on the basis on the fieldwork they conducted at an archaeological site: a midnineteenth-century fortlet located in the center of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
