Just yesterday we talked this with my friends and colleagues, and although there are not many known archeology professionals, if there are some who deserve all my admiration, one of them is Patricia Ayala. She is a Chilean archeologist, whose major area of ​​study are problems of archeology, specifically which is linked to issues of equity, as this is constructed, preserves and sets. She works in northern Chile, and his work aims to relate to archaeologists, the State and the people in an active reconstruction of the past, where the past can be built together and considering the different contributions that these three actors can have. His work seems relevant because as a student one often faces the uncertainty of how our work can truly influence the historical and identity readings made by people of his own, for this question the author suggests an active role of the archaeologist, who to fulfill its mission to rethink the concepts of heritage and past, decoupling the first of its static character and the second as history, the past exists only if related to a past, and this is witness of our present, to understand them as something dissociated It does not respond to our demands as historical subjects. For all the above, it seems that work Ayala is deeply inspiring and enriching for the disci- pline, hopefully one day my job to generate an active and dynamic way of understanding placed in a historical continuum.
