Abstract

This article is based on the fact that throughout the historical development the archaeological research on the Colombian eje cafetero has worked upon the interpretations that say that the inhabitants of this area belonged to different cultures. These cultures can be traced in the archaeological record through the identification of the stylish, formal and decorative features of the evidence. Thus the archaeological reconstruction of the human occupation of this region has taken place as a temporary and spatial succession of different cultures, reason why the variation and richness of the change processes that probably occurred in the zone have been ignored. It is how a reconstruction in which the change processes are understood as a consequence of migrations, invasions or dissemination becomes valid. These premises have directed the sight of the researchers limiting clearly the problems that can be studied by the archaeological research, establishing the chronology as a priority and as a central topic of the archaeology.
