Resumen
La presente tesis se realizó en el monumento arqueológico Hacienda La Martha C-480 HLM, el cual se ubica en el cantón de Jiménez, provincia de Cartago, Costa Rica.
Su enfoque desde la arqueología histórica e industrial, permitió generar una nueva mirada hacia una época de radical importancia para el desarrollo económico y social de Costa Rica, ya que desde el contexto de la hacienda se evidenciaron los cambios que surgieron a nivel regional y local para poder seguirle el ritmo al mercado mundial, lo cual marcó un antes y un después en la vida de la mayoría de los pobladores del país.
El estudio desde la disciplina arqueológica permitió conocer los usos que tuvieron las edificaciones y los espacios del complejo agroindustrial, buscando comprender las dinámicas socioproductivas que tuvieron lugar en dicha hacienda.
Los remanentes históricos, la información documental y la tradición oral permitieron un acercamiento a las condiciones técnicas y sociales de producción que se llevaron a cabo en dicho espacio laboral entre 1890 – 1930.
Fue así como, gracias a las estructuras, los artefactos y los fragmentos de éstos que se hallaron en lo que antiguamente fue la hacienda, se pudo accesar y vislumbrar la vida de los antiguos trabajadores y habitantes de La Marta, pudiendo responder a algunas preguntas que se han planteado desde hace décadas y marcando el camino para futuras investigaciones que sin duda podrían enriquecer aún más el legado de dicho complejo arqueológico agroindustrial.

Through the analysis of structures, artifacts and their fragments discovered in the former hacienda, it was possible to gain a glimpse into the life of the ancient workers and inhabitants of La Marta. This research addressed some longstanding questions about the hacienda and laid the groundwork for future investigations that undoubtedly will further enrich the legacy of this agro-industrial archaeological complex.
