The Bachelor of Archaeology of UFPel, Brazil: a program in the interface between Archaeology and Anthropology

Abstract

This article aims to present the program of the new Bachelor of Archaeology of the Universidade Federal of Pelotas, Brazil, created in 2008, focusing in the relation between Archaeology and Anthropology. The first part of the article concerns with the historical context of the theoretical and conceptual relation between Anthropology and Archaeology. This approach finalizes with the evaluation of the impact of the globalization over the archaeological thought and praxis. The second part deals with the program of the course, presenting how the concepts that permeate the profile of the course, as well as the impact of the globalization over the archaeological knowledge, articulate themselves in the branch of the four axes that constitute the proposed archaeological building: the theoretical, the diachronic, the methodological and the patrimonial ones. The text ends indicating the compromise of the course with the concept of multivocality (Trigger) and with the dialogue with other institutions, in order to advance in the professional building of the archaeologists in our country.
