Abstract

Although recent in Portugal, research into archaeological discourse and practice within the framework of twentieth-century colonialism leads us to believe that archaeology did not play a prominent role in the scientific colonial agenda, but was rather a subsidiary field of studies often promoted by personal enterprises. Nevertheless, the analysis and comparison of the means through which different protagonists engaged in the production, circulation and reception of archaeological and prehistoric knowledge, as well as the networks that emerge from its scrutiny, might contribute to an external and comparative approach between the different colonial powers.
