Resumen
El propósito del presente trabajo es aportar a la reflexión, desde la experiencia adquirida en el campo de la antropología forense, como miembros de un equipo con pertenencia institucional en el sistema formal de ciencia y técnica, con historia aplicada a casos concretos de demanda comunitaria. A modo de ejemplo de estas actuaciones se expondrán dos experiencias vinculadas al Gran Chaco. La primera la constituye la solicitud realizada al equipo de antropología forense del Museo de La Plata por la comunidad wichi "Pajarito" (Afwenchelhos), a través del Centro del Hombre Antiguo Chaqueño (Las Lomitas, Formosa), para la excavación de inhumaciones de sus ancestros en el Paraje Esteros (Provincia de Formosa). El fin último de dicha solicitud era legalizar y reivindicar sus derechos legítimos sobre las tierras, lo cual fue logrado a partir del informe final producido por nuestro grupo de trabajo. En segundo lugar presentaremos los resultados de la respuesta a requerimiento de comunidades aborígenes ante un hecho fortuito de hallazgo de restos óseos humanos en la localidad de "El Quebracho", Departamento de Ramón Lista (Provincia de Formosa). En estos casos el concepto de restitución aplicado indiscriminadamente, deja de tener sentido, ya que todas nuestras acciones surgieron del acuerdo y del consenso de los actores involucrados.
The aim of this paper is to contribute to reflection, from the experience gained in the field of forensic anthropology as members of a team with institutional affiliation in the formal system of science and technology, through history applied to specific cases of community demand. As an example of these activities, two specific cases related to Gran Chaco will be discussed. The first one was a request made to the forensic anthropology team of the Museo de La Plata by the wichi community "Pajarito" (Afwenchelhos) through the Centro del Hombre Antiguo Chaqueno (Las Lomitas, Formosa) for the excavation of their ancestors' burial sites in the Paraje Esteros (province of Formosa). The ultimate purpose of the request was to legalize and claim their legitimate rights to their land, which was achieved through the final report produced by our research group. Secondly, we present the results of the response to a request submitted by aboriginal communities in the face of an incidental finding of human remains in the village of El Quebracho, department of Ramón Lista (province of Formosa). Based on these experiences, the concept of restitution, applied indiscriminately, ceases to make sense, since all our actions derived from mutual understanding and consensus among the actors involved.
