Ítem De Jamaica Town al Barrio Roosevelt: el tránsito de los topónimos criollos limonenses(2004) Chang Vargas, Gisellea investigación toponímica es un instrumento para conocer el patrimonio étnico-lingüís-tico de un pueblo y confirmar la diversidad cultural. El estudio de los nombres geográficos(origen, significado y cambios), nos permite identificar la influencia de diversas capas de po-blación asentadas en un territorio, las relaciones de poder y la concepción de la naturaleza.En este trabajo se analizan -desde la perspectiva etnolingüística- los topónimos criollos, deorigen inglés, de la provincia de Limón. Éstos representan una minoría respecto a los topó-nimos en otras lenguas y, en su mayoría están asociados a la flora, la fauna y otros elemen-tos del ambiente. La sustitución de topónimos ha sido común en la región y coexiste la no-menclatura oficial con la onomástica popular que identifica un nombre con un puebloÍtem Evidencias paleoindio / arcaicas y su distribución espacial en finca Guardiria, Turrialba(2013-07-04 16:29:49) Valerio L., WilsonRecientemente, se realizó un estudio evaluativo en Finca Guardiria y, posteriormente, ex- cavaciones restringidas en áreas seleccionadas, a raíz del proyecto de construcción de una zona industrial en dicho terreno. Con el trabajo de investigación arqueológica se pretendió conocer el estado actual del depósito cultural, su carácter estratigráfico-temporal (componentes) y espacio-dimensional (extensión, áreas de actividad, núcleos de concentración) y su relación con el impacto a sufrir por la construcción del complejo industrial. Tales investigaciones muestran que Finca Guardiria, la cual cuenta con más de 57 hectáreas, mantiene la presencia de materiales arqueológicos (lítica, cerámica) en una densidad variable en 6 áreas arqueológicas definidas. Tales materiales culturales representan las ac- tividades cotidianas de diversos grupos humanos a lo largo de 11.000 años, proponiéndose la existencia de un importante componente paleoarcaico y arcaico entre 9000 y 4000 años a.p. de cazadores-recolectores que da continuidad a las poblaciones paleoindias anteriores.Ítem La información espacial e iconográfica en la investigación antropológica(2013-07-04 16:29:49) Hernández C., EnriqueThe professional exercise of anthropological investigation has made to experiment different forms of relationship and capture of realities that have been taken like study objects.

Spatial and iconographic information is a kind of knowledge in constant relation with anthropology. For this reason the proposed study offers a first approach to its delimitation and comprehension, definition, uses, characteristics, and limitation of that information.Ítem Al compás de los percherones(2013-07-04 16:29:49) Otárola Durán, FloryThe information consigned in the present article is taken from an investigation, for obtaining a degree of social anthropology, carried out in the year 2002, and for which the reflection and interpretation axis were the occidental concept of death, the imaginary on death, and the ritualization of death in the Catholic community of San Jose, Costa Rica during the twentieth century.

Structural needs of capitalist accumulation and industrial development needed for their own development, the establishment of control strategies of nature and society, facilitating the processes of extraction and concentration of the goodwill generated by the workers. The expert handling of the material conditions of human existence also demanded, manipulation of consciences, as a necessary condition for expanding hegemonic domination of capitalism. The development of scientific research and technological applications of knowledge gained, was the way to achieve it. Along the same lines, the need to produce a knowledge that was officially validated as absolute truth, as opposed to magical and religious knowledge led to the philosophers of the Enlightenment to legitimize the natural science model, as the basis of any authoritative scientific practice. Scientific knowledge of the natural world, human and social enrolled since then in the structure of social relations of production and expression strength was hegemonic sectors.
