This article approaches a topic little considered until recently in archaeological practice. It refers to a series of examples from different geographical and temporal contexts (Great Zimbabwe, Nazi Germany, the Saamis, etc.) as a sample of the variety of forms in which xenophobia and racism have affected archaeological practice. It points out the actual situation of Archaeology in Europe which is not free of difficulties in the face of the revival of nationalistic, xenophobic and racist movements. It questions the responsibility of the archaeologist submerged in this socio-political reality.
