Abstract

During the 19th century, the San José Palace was Justo José de Urquiza’s family residence. He was a prestigious Argentine politician, military man, and landowner, and he also served as Governor of Entre Ríos province and President of the Argentine Confederation between 1854 and 1860. The archaeological research in the property surrounding the residence was the first experience carried out in this place. Articulated scientific research with strong community participation through partnerships with Universities located at Concepción del Uruguay, and other local institutions, gave this archaeological practice a particular characteristic. The general goal was to identify and recover evidence from three areas surrounding San José Palace, which belonged to the site´s occupation in the 19th century. Archaeological excavations yielded several structural remains, such as an artisanal brick sidewalk, and the foundations of a viewpoint that included a courtyard with stone flowerbeds. Also, material remains of everyday life of the 19th century (bottles, glass, pipes, nails, etc.) were found during a dump excavation. This article presents the main research guidelines and the general results achieved after field and laboratory work.
