Abstract
La imagen del arqueólogo profesional ha estado tradicionalmente enturbiada por la opinión ofrecida sobre la arqueología urbana en los años ochenta. La escisión del ámbito investigador, que no veía satisfechos sus intereses tradicionales, produjo una “arqueología secundaria”, con una imagen negativa y una infravaloración de los profesionales que la ejercían. Desde entonces, la profesión ha seguido desarrollándose, orientándose al ámbito de la conservación y gestión patrimonial. En la actualidad, el 90% de la arqueología que se practica es de carácter preventivo y se produce fundamentalmente en las ciudades.
Sin embargo, el perfil de los arqueólogos que la ejecutan es alarmantemente desconocido, eclipsado, en las publicaciones recientes, por el tema de su complicada situación laboral.
Se ofrece un perfil actualizado del profesional y de las necesidades de la arqueología tras la crisis, basado en parte de una tesis que está en realización y en veinte años de experiencia en la profesión.
