    Description: This study re-examines and contextualises Eduard Seler's investigations in the Chaculá-Region (Department of Huehuetenango, Guatemala). Starting with a discussion of ethnohistory as well as the historical circumstances of Seler's research, his methods are critically examined in the context of archaeology in late 19th century Guatemala and the practice of collecting by European museums, specifically the Ethnological Museum Berlin. This is followed by the results of a reconnaissance of the different archaeological sites documented by Seler in the region, in which their current state of preservation is examined and Seler's excavation trenches are re-discovered. The core of the work is a new study of the materials from the region in the collection of the Ethnological Museum Berlin, including previously undocumented ceramic materials. Through typological cross-dating, a first ceramic chronology for the region is established, showing that the major settlements were occupied from the Late Classic (600-900) to the Early Postclassic (900-1250). These data and observations form the foundation for a re-examination of the interpretations put forth by Eduard Seler and later scholars, concerning topics such as architecture, burials and caches, the function of the Quen Santo caves, ritual and settlement continuity from the Late Classic to modern times and the ethnolinguistic identity of the ancient inhabitants of the region. The book concludes with a look at the postcolonial challenges that the collection in Berlin faces and ways to connect the archaeological past with the indigenous present in the Chaculá-Region.

    Description: La propuesta de los compiladores de delinear un mapa de los usos del pasado, permite a los lectores adentrarse en un recorrido de múltiples ramificaciones y polifacéticas miradas, tanto en la manera de analizar el o los relatos del pasado, como en el registro de los acontecimientos, o en el análisis de los sentidos y resignificaciones. En cada uno de esos puntos se evidencia la lucha política por imponer una determinada versión del pasado como legítima, oficial e institucional. Como plantea Marta Philp, “La discusión de las relaciones entre historia y memoria desafía a los historiadores a pensar acerca de su lugar en la construcción de memorias; los efectos de sus trabajos, quizás difíciles de medir, en la conformación de imágenes sociales del pasado, dominantes, sumergidas, latentes, pero circulantes al fin en distintos grupos que se apropian de versiones de la historia construidas por los historiadores a lo largo del tiempo.
