TARSiSCIENCE. Learning communities around the archaeological site of Casas del Turuñuelo

Abstract

TARSisSCIENCE is a working group formed by the scientific team in charge of researching the Tartessian archaeological site of Casas del Turuñuelo (Guareña, Badajoz) and the educational community of the IES Eugenio Frutos, within TARTESO en COMUNIDAD, a cultural mediation and citizen science project that was born in 2018 with the main objective of bringing Tartessian culture closer to society.

The objective of this process is to involve this educational context in the generation of citizen participation processes through learning communities and RAP dynamics (research, action and participation) that stimulate collaboration between science and community, integrating into the project to the teachers and students of the 4th year of ESO at the IES Eugenio Frutos de Guareña in 3 research modules linked to the archaeological site: Archeology of the Paleolandscape, Archaeozoology and Archeology of Architecture and analysis of the spaces.

The investigations have led to two participatory processes presented, together with the results of said investigations, in ARQUEO RURALES [II Conference on Archeology and Rural Community], monographic edition dedicated to Heritage Education.

The results of this process encourage us to continue betting on strategies that encompass all the needs, all the tools, all the actors and all the variants that hinder or enrich the different learning or knowledge generation processes from multiple points of view.
