Resumen

La pandemia de COVID-19 plantea interrogantes sobre la conservación, el coleccionismo y la ética de documentar un evento traumático en tiempo real. Estas inquietudes se hicieron evidentes cuando los coautores se embarcaron en un estudio multisitio sobre el impacto de la pandemia en cuatro comunidades de dos países diferentes. Definir un "artefacto" o qué es arqueológico, por ejemplo, se convirtió en un ejercicio complejo; ¿cuentan como artefactos arqueológicos las obras de arte con tiza en la acera, las rocas pintadas que bordean un sendero vecinal, los carteles grapados en vallas publicitarias comunitarias y los animales disecados en la ventana de alguien? Determinar los límites temporales de la pandemia también es difícil; si bien está bastante claro cuándo comenzó, continúa teniendo un impacto en nuestro mundo posconfinamiento. Su impacto global también significa que los cambios materiales y las alteraciones del paisaje que los coautores presenciaron no se limitaron ni aislaron a un solo lugar y tiempo, sino que existen en multitud en todo el mundo.
