The Pre-Hispanic vestiges are social objects of the present because in this temporary dimension the past is remembered,elaborated and reconstructed according to the terms of the society that includes those objects in its materialand symbolic universe. In rural societies, ideas about the past and historic remains are usually native, transmittedorally and evoke the social memory of the group that shapes it, sharing traditional knowledge and local meaningsabout those objects. The following paper presents the progress of an investigation that aims to collect these meaningsamong the inhabitants of Teuchitlán, a population in Western Mexico. Until now, the information collected constitutesa record of stories and myths constructed by Teuchitlán residents, in a place where daily contact with pre-hispanicobjects and ruins have forged a body of indigenous knowledge that guides people´s interaction with these objects. |
