El Centro de Estudios Arqueológicos Regionales (CEAR) constituye un espacio de discusión e interacción entre investigadores que estudian las sociedades pasadas desde una perspectiva arqueológica, en diferentes sectores del Área Ecotonal Húmedo-Seca Pampeana (AEHSP), con mayor sistematicidad en el Sistema Serrano de Ventania. Este territorio ha sido definido como una franja que posee condiciones ambientales de transición entre la Pampa Húmeda y la Pampa Seca, las cuales facilitan la presencia de recursos vegetales y animales propios de ambas regiones, conformando un sector con una riqueza y variabilidad de recursos mayor a la de zonas circundantes. Los diferentes proyectos de investigación que se efectuaron durante las tres últimas décadas posibilitaron el desarrollo de diversas líneas de trabajo, las cuales generaron un cúmulo de conocimiento significativo en una escala espacial amplia. El abordaje de diferentes sectores del AEHSP permite establecer comparaciones en cuanto a características de las evidencias arqueológicas recuperadas, ocupación temporal y espacial por parte de las sociedades indígenas, materias primas empleadas en la tecnología lítica, representaciones simbólicas, desarrollo de las investigaciones en el marco de la historia de la arqueología pampeana, y construcción del pasado indígena en vinculación con los imaginarios acerca del patrimonio arqueológico local., The Center of Regional Archaeological Studies (CEAR) constitutes a space for discussion and interaction between researchers who study past societies from an archaeological perspective, in different sectors of the Area Ecotonal Humedo-Seca Pampeana (AEHSP), with greater systematicity in the Ventania Hill System. This territory has been defined as a strip of transitional environmental conditions between the humid Pampa and the dry Pampa, which facilitate the presence of plant and animals resources of both regions, forming a sector with a greater richness and variability of resources than the surrounding areas. During the last three decades different research projects generated a mass of significant knowledge in a broad spatial scale developing different lines of work. Those researches which include different sectors of the AEHSP, allow comparisons in terms of different characteristics of the archaeological evidence recovered: temporal and spatial occupation by indigenous societies, raw materials used in lithic technology, symbolic representations, development of research within the framework of the history of the pampean archaeology, and construction of the indigenous past in connection with the imaginaries about local archaeological heritage. The actions developed by the CEAR are guided by specific aims. First, its purpose is to generate information about the human groups that inhabited this region in the past from the archaeological record; and second, to socialize the knowledge with local communities, in order to build consensus around the cultural heritage that will ensure social inclusion, equity in access to knowledge and behaviors of conservation and protection of this heritage through time. It should be noted that the comparative framework established in this work allows us to develop some considerations on general and specific processes of indigenous peoples of the region., Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo
