Sumario:Historians of Andean archeology have long overlooked conversations between Peruvian and European or North American scholars – transatlantic relations in late-nineteenth century Americanist archaeology. They have focused on individuals or groups on either side of the Atlantic, or, if they have narrated encounters, on the alleged inequalities and unevenness inherent in the relationship between scholars. Based on the collection of the Lima antiquary José Mariano Macedo (1823-1894), his manuscripts and correspondence with antiquities collectors, antiquaries and archaeologists in Europe and the United States, this paper occasions a revaluation. It employs a biographical and micro-scale analysis to uncover how scholars from Lima, Berlin or New York spoke to each other about Peru’s pre-Columbian past across the Americas and the Atlantic as equals and how Americanist archaeology materialized right in in the middle, in the conversations that took place in between.
