NOVILLO, Miguel  and  VERA, Juan. ¿IS IT ARCHAEOLOGY OR ANTHROPOLOGY? TOPICS FOR CHARACTERIZE A SOCIAL SCIENCE. Revista Chakiñan [online]. 2019, n.7, pp.16-24. ISSN 2550-6722.

The prestige and vigour -that used to have- the Social Science has been constantly declined. There are multiple reasons that had generated this status. Since the educative, economical, and educational aspects or just a functionality. So, we have the vision to stimulate the development starting from the informatical and technological advance, laying aside the collective and social character from the people who share the same space and time. Thus, from the archaeology there are some notions that explain this science from an archaeological perspective. So, this article has the objective to explain certain aspects about the archaeological science, and the use of the analogy as a potential way to infer an event, considering that, for archaeology, it is an essential labor the disciplinal and systematic study of the remains of the past human activities; to understand this phases of humanity, with a contemporary perspective. The archaeologist, as an historian, has to provide the enough conceptual and technique arguments to infer an event, with the eagerness, of course, to make history.

Keywords : Analogy; anthropology; archaeology; social science; ethnoarchaeology.
