| contents | The Emberá, tourism and indigenous archaeology: "rediscovering" the past in Eastern Panama Tomás Mendizábal Dimitrios Theodossopoulos Historia Camino Real Emberá pottery Eastern Panama Venta de Chagres indigenous tourism In this article we discuss the interest of the Emberá (an Amerindian indigenous group) in collecting knowledge about material remains of the past-such as colonial and pre-colonial ceramic fragments - that are easily found in Eastern Panama. We situate this interest of the Emberá (and their desire to learn more about the past) within the context of indigenous tourism, which has inspired the articulation of new narratives about Emberá history and identity. In addition, the accidental discovery by the Emberá of ceramic fragments from past periods has instigated and facilitated archaeological investigation, a process that resulted in a reciprocal exchange of knowledge between the Emberá and the academic investigators. Such a reciprocal relationship, we argue, can contribute towards the decolonisation of archaeology, create synergies between anthropology and archaeology, and enhance indigenous representation in tourism. 2012 artículo científico 1794-8886 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=85524641005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=855 Memorias.
