Abstract

In this paper, I present a reflection of my practice of Ethnohistory/ Historical Anthropology developed in three stages. Durin the first one, I render a diachronic approach to the vision of the population in certain areas of Patagonia, identifying -based on interethnic contacts- different moments. In the second stage, I look for the relationship between Ethnohistory and Archaeology, underlying data that could render more congruence to the archaeological register. The third stage was guided by the theme of my Ph. D. thesis, the Tehuelches of north Patagonia, and was organized following three axis: ethnic identity, territorial organization and chiefdomships.
