Considered the "father" of argentine archeology, Ambrosetti was born in 1865 in Gualeguay, Entre Rios province, but lived most of his life in Buenos Aires. From the moment he was commissioned to explore the Argentine Northwest in 1895, archeology became his main interest.In 1903 he became the substitute professor of American Archaeology in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Buenos Aires, where he founded the following year the Ethnographic Museum that bears his name today. He remained as director until his death in 1917. During his last years of life, Ambrosetti was also an active participant at international conferences, especially the Congress of Americanists. On the whole Ambrosetti´s work at the Ethnographic Museum of the University of Buenos Aires contributed to position archeology in the field of humanities, while its innovative actions on archaeological sites laid the foundation for the vigorous Argentinean tradition of field research to this day.
