Abstract

The main goal of the paper was examine the historical process of institutionalization of public policies to protection archaeological sites in the Brazilian context through bibliographic review and documentary analysis, with some reflections on the implementation of that policy. As a result, it was identified that the first movement of the Brazilian State for the preservation of archaeological sites refers to the 1934 Constitution, which determined the protection of cultural heritage as a
duty of the public power, a position reaffirmed by the 1937 Constitution. In order to comply with the constitutional determination was published in 1937 the Decree-Law No. 25, which instituted the inventory as a legal instrument to grant a protective legal regime to material cultural goods. Later, in 1961, Law 3924/61 was published, which became known as the Law of Archeology and provided ample protection to known archaeological sites and to those that came to be known without the need to use a specific precautionary instrument such as, for example, the inventory. The 1988 Constitution consolidated the protective position of the Brazilian State in relation to archaeological sites, defining them as patrimony of the Union. The data collected in the research show that despite the existence of protective public policies, in practice the Brazilian State has presented historical difficulties in its implementation. As a consequence, the archaeological heritage has been systematically impacted by the dynamics of urban and rural spatial transformations, vandalism and illegal commercial exploitation.
