This text reflects and highlights fundamental contributions of the researcher Victoria Castro Rojas. We refer to the vision of the practice of archaeology that she promoted throughout her career, as a discipline not so much of the past, but anchored in the present and in permanent connection with local communities and the territories where she developed her work. This resulted in a disciplinary practice that resisted the hegemonic process of distancing between archaeology and anthropology, consolidating a line of research that articulated diverse disciplines and opened new and interstitial spaces for research and the training of dozens of professionals.
