Latinamerican social archaeology (LSA) is a school of thougth developed at Latin America, between 1970s and 1980s, and focus on the application of Historical Materialism to the interpretation of the Archaeological Record. It is an orthodox current of marxism, since it adheres to dialectical materialism.
Within the LSA, it is possible to distinguis between two main currents. One, and the first, was initiated by the peruvian archaeologist Luis G. Lumbreras (Perú), who draws most of his inspiration from the work of [Vere Gordon Childe], and authored the seminal book "La Arqueología como Ciencia Social" ((1974) 1984). Most of his papers, and those of his followers, were published at the journal "Gaceta Arqueológica Andina".
The other main current, inspired by the work of Lumbreras, is compossed of those archaeologists who are members of the Oaxtepec Group, among them: Luis F. Bate (Chile), I. Vargas Arenas (Venezuela), Mario Sanoja Obediente (Venezuela), Marcio Veloz Maggiolo (Venezuela), Patricia Fournier. Most of their work was published by the journal "Boletín the Antropología Americana", published by the Instituto Panaméricano de Geografía. The whole production of this group on marxist theory and archaeology was sintetized by Luis F. Bate, in his book "El proceso de Investigación en Arqueología" (1998)
Archaeology as a Social Science
In 1976, Luis G. Lumbreras Publishes a compilation of some papers on peruvian archaeology plus five capitules deditacted to Marxist Theory, and its potential for Archaeological Research. The work was heavely influenced by Childe (1954), speacially by its unilineal conception of cultural evolution (Childe 1964). After that work, Childe published a lot of papers in the Gaceta Arqueológica Andina. Most of them republished in the book "Arqueología y Sociedad".
