As instituições museológicas frequentemente carecem de fundos públicos e de recursos humanos apropriados para a salvaguarda do patrimônio na região, dificultando os projetos expositivos e de curadoria dos acervos. Desta forma, alguns administradores de museus recorrem como alternativa ao estabelecimento de convênios com instituições de estudos e pesquisas, tanto uruguaias como estrangeiras. Como pesquisadora associada ao Laboratório Multidisciplinar de Investigação Arqueológica (LÂMINA – UFPel), e com o apoio do laboratório referenciado, decidimos desenvolver um projeto a fim de melhorar a gestão do acervo do Museo del Patrimonio Regional. A metodologia empregada foi uma adaptação dos procedimentos e critérios utilizados pelo LÂMINA em outras instituições do Brasil e exterior, abrangendo atividades de diagnósticos dos ambientes de acondicionamento e exibição de coleções arquelógicas e históricas; levantamento do estado de conservação das coleções; elaboração e execução de projetos interventivos; acondicionamento e extroversão de coleções; montagem de laboratórios de conservação e restauração; capacitação de profissionais e técnicos e; de musealização de sítios históricos. A realização dessas atividades, conjuntamente com a divulgação das mesmas, colocou, a nosso ver, o museu em outro patamar a nível regional. A valorização das coleções e dos distintos atores sociais envolvidos confirmou-se com outro logro deste projeto / This research presents the interventive processes developed at the collection of the Museo del Patrimonio Regional from Rivera city, Uruguay. Museological institutions frequently are in need of public money and human resources appropriate in order to preserve the regions heritage, making it difficult for expositions and the curatorship of the collections. Thus, some museum administrators resort, as an alternative, to the establishment of partnerships with study and research institutions, both from Uruguay and abroad. As an associated researcher to the Laboratório Multidisciplinar de Investigação Arqueológica (LÂMINA - UFPel), and with the support of this laboratory, we decided to develop a project in order to improve the management of the collection from the Museo del Patrimonio Regional. The employed methodology was an adaptation of the procedures and criterion used by the LÂMINA in other institutions from Brazil and abroad, encompassing activities of diagnosis of the conditioning and display environments for the archaeological and historical collections; an update on the conservation state of the collections; elaboration and execution of interventive projects; storage and extroversion of the collections; creation of laboratories for conservation and restoration; capacitation for professionals and technicians and; musealization of historical sites. The accomplishment of those activities, together with their disclosure, have put, in our opinion, the museum into another regional level. The valuation of the collections and of the different social actors involved was confirmed as another achievement of this project

The purpose of this project was to record the private archaeological collection of the Keene family, which was previously unknown to the professional community. While at the two sites, Keene Redfield site (8Ja1847) and Keene Dog Pond site (8Ja1848), in Jackson County, northwest Florida, USF archaeologists also conducted field investigations to look for prehistoric cultural materials in undisturbed contexts. This research was conducted at the request of the Keene family. The field crew systematically documented, cataloged and photographed each artifact in the Keene collection while at the sites. Surface survey and testing were also carried out in order to determine site boundaries, occupation and function. Over 1,000 artifacts from every time period from the transitional Paleo-Indian/Early Archaic through the Mississippian were documented from the collection. Field investigations resulted in the location and investigation of undisturbed cultural strata below the plow zone, enabling the researchers to obtain radiocarbon dates from these deposits. Evidence of hunting and gathering activities and of tool processing including repair, sharpening and possible re-use was found at both sites. This work allowed for the publication of two previously unknown, rich archaeological sites and for a better understanding of the prehistoric activities and functions of this region of the southeast. While participating in this public archaeology project, several other similar opportunities presented themselves, providing USF archaeologists with the ability to maintain a presence in the area to continue public archaeology efforts to engage the community and encourage appropriate participation and good stewardship of these types of private sites.
