Abstrakt: This work aim to understand the trajectory of Archaeological production of Anthropological Mission carried out in Mozambique, Guinea, Angola, and Timor, between the 30 and 60, whose collection is now contained in the Institute of Tropical Scientific Investigation, in order to analyze the relationship between archaeological praxis and society, culture and ideologies that characterize the period in which these works evolved. First seek to contextualize the theoretical and political universe of anthropology and archeology from the late nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth century as a way of perceiving the relationship between the scientific universe that circumscribes the Anthropological Missions and nationalist and colonialist ideas prevailing in the period. Then seek to reconstruct the legal universe of the Missions, the academic career of their responsible and the archaeological production performed in the field work and in some publications resulting from this research as a way to understand how archeology is developed in this context. Finally try to define the place of this scientific field in this project through the investigation of the scientific, political, personal and logistics contexts, who were fundamental in this process. Thus, one can deconstruct the networks of the production of this science in order to understand its complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
