Abstract

Besides protecting the archaeological legacy, Peruvian archaeologists have emphasized a strong positive discourse on Andean history. Through social channels such as media, museums, and schools, this discour­se has apparently been strengthened by a number of recent archaeological finds; sorne of which display a special singularity or material wealth. While the recent collective interest of such a luxurious and exotic past has provided new opportunities for professional development, as well as invigorating the national pri­de, we should ask ourselves to what extent these views rely thoroughly on scientific practices and how much it distorts the actual variety of the Peruvian historical legacy.
