Description:	This book is a testimony too. It too tells of the sufferings undergone and the injustice inflicted. It transmits the words of those who were lucky enough to get out and to be able to tell us “what was committed.” It bears the memory of the victims, of the mass of all those on whom injustice was inflicted. It is an enterprise of truth and justice. I say this all the more forcefully as I do not necessarily share the positions of all the authors whose contributions made it possible for this essential book to be published. Indeed I do not believe in the natural goodness of a so-called “left-wing” archaeology: any archaeology which sides with oppression does not deserve to be called archaeology. And those who serve it do not deserve to be called archaeologists. This is “equally valid” for archaeology of left-wing or Marxist leanings as for that of right-wing tendencies; whether the archaeology of democracies is concerned or that of totalitarian regimes, the same question is posed. Be that as it may, this work is an essential testimony, a fundamental contribution to the contemporary archaeology of Latin America, of that considerable part of the New World which has never been American.
