NATALIA, Mazzia et al. Documentary and archaeology. A way of telling the past. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.2, pp.63-70. ISSN 1852-060X.

Abstract The current paper presents the main guidelines and progress of an archaeological documentary which is part of a public archaeology project. The film is destined both for general public, in its television/internet format, and for school students; for this last audience the film can be used with printed material written by the archaeologists in charge of research. The documentary, which tells the story of Cerro El Sombrero Cima archaeological site, its setting, the archaeological interpretations and its meaning for past societies of the Pampean Region, is a chapter of the series "Ocupaciones Humanas, 10.000 años antes del presente" produced by Superfrascopuntocom. The goal of the series is to present scientific interpretations in a way that is modern and familiar for the audience and to create consciousness about important current archaeological topics, such as climate change, social relations, cultural differences and the importance of cultural heritage. The paper discusses the dynamics that emerged in the relationship between documentary producers and archaeologists, which involved the exchange of ideas, different goals and different "ways of doing" distinctive of each discipline.

Keywords : Documentary; Public archaeology; Cerro El Sombrero Cima; Interdisciplinary work.
