The principal aim of this project is to analyse interdisciplinary connections between Spanish archaeology and other similar sciences, exploring the consequent exchange of techniques, practices and methods. It also examines the social repercussions of said interrelations.

The project focuses on the 19th and 20th centuries, investigating the contributions of individuals in other disciplines to the birth of a new field of knowledge, as well as the role played by the first researchers acknowledged as archaeologists who established ties with other sciences to gain and consolidate access to knowledge of the societies of the past.
