Abstract
La creatividad hoy en día es un rasgo altamente valorado por su potencial para la resolución de problemas, la producción de nuevos bienes, y el desarrollo tecnológico. Pero cuando se suele hablar de creatividad en arqueología, sucede que enseguida se habla sobre arte. Esto ha derivado en una confusión entre creatividad y arte, que ha impedido observar la primera en el trabajo de campo. Se ha supuesto que una práctica tecno-científica no podría ser creativa más que incorporando elementos estéticos en momentos puntuales, y tampoco los ejercicios interdisciplinares de arte y ciencia han estudiado el fenómeno creativo en sí. La creatividad en arqueología ha quedado además circunscrita a la creación del informe arqueológico o de los documentos de registro, vistos como la materialización de diversos momentos del yacimiento, ahora abstractos, que puestos en conjunto se estudian en retrospectiva, una vez que la excavación ha terminado...

It has been assumed that a techno-scientific practice could only be creative by incorporating aesthetic elements at specific moments - even interdisciplinary exercises of art-science have not studied the creative phenomenon itself.
