This article provides an updated overview of the archeology of the Luján river basin based on the exhaustive compilation of archaeological evidence that has been recovered over 150 years.Sixty-nine loci of material were detected, including sites, collections and museum objects, ranging from the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition until the 19th-20th centuries of our Era. It is observed that archaeological heritage is affected by urban expansion and associated infrastructure works. It is postulated that the basin offers a renewed potential for: a) carrying out paleoecological studies in general and for late Pleistocene in particular, contributing to the discussion on the possible reasons for the extinction of the megafauna; b) studying the materiality of the societies that inhabited the territory over time, including recent history and c) addressing associated heritage and identity phenomena.

Palabras clave : Lujan river basin - pampean archaeology; history of archeology - cultural heritage; archaeological map.
