DIÁLOGOS DE SABERES EN TORNO A RESTOS HUMANOS SENSIBLES. UNA PROPUESTA MUSEOGRÁFICA, AUDIOVISUAL Y EDITORIAL
DIALOGUES OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SENSITIVE HUMAN REMAINS. A MUSEOGRAPHIC, AUDIOVISUAL AND EDITORIAL PROPOSAL
Mariana Fabra and Mariela Eleonora Zabala
For 15 years, the Public Archeology Program -PAP- (SEU, FFyH, UNC) has been carrying out bioarchaeological work on the southern coast of the Mar Chiquita lagoon (Córdoba, Argentina). The requests for intervention were made by the workers of the museums and neighbors as a result of the hydrological fluctuations of the lagoon and their impact on archaeological sites characterized by the discovery of human remains. In addition to the rescue activities, training and advisory work regarding cultural heritage projects were conducted. The objective of the present article is to socialize a Heritage Education and Museology experience that we are building together with the community of the Museum of Natural Sciences Aníbal Montes -MCNAM- (Miramar, Córdoba, Argentina), some members of other museums in the area, representatives of Indigenous Peoples of Córdoba, and the PAP. This experience of collective construction, within a framework of dialogue of knowledge, will be reflected in three museological, museographic and educational products: an itinerant exhibition, a documentary, and an online publication. We are interested in sharing the methodologies applied for the recovery of knowledge of the local archaeological heritage, particularly bioarchaeo- logical heritage, as well as the design of the scripts of each product incorporating the voices of multiple social actors.

EVALUATION OF PROBABILISTIC SAMPLING METHODS IN THE CHARACTERIZATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES THROUGH SUBSURFACE SOUNDING
EVALUACIÓN DE LOS MÉTODOS DE MUESTREO PROBABILÍSTICOS EN LA CARACTERIZACIÓN DE SITIOS ARQUEOLÓGICOS POR MEDIO DE SONDEOS SUBSUPERFICIALES
This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the probabilistic sampling methods applied to subsurface sounding (e.g. test pit, auger holes) as tools to measure the density distribution of subsurface archaeological remains. By means of the simulation of three types of sites with different density distributions of subsurface archaeological materials and the application of different sampling schemes and sampling fractions, the degree of error in representing the density distribution of subsurface materials achieved with different sampling alternatives is observed. It is concluded, on the one hand, that a sampling scheme scarcely used in field archeology, sampling by interval transects, produces fewer errors. On the other hand, beyond the expected relation between the size of the sample and the precision with which a universe is represented, it has been possible to estimate which range of sampling fraction produces acceptable errors.
