This paper deals with the present situation of Spanish Archaeology. It starts by accepting that attention to the Archaeological Heritage should be the applicable horizon for developing Archeology in the future: archaeological discipline should be understood as fully integrated in the management of cultural resources and adapted to play specific roles in Cultural Industries. For this, it is necessary to design an integral model of management and research of Archaeological Heritage, unifying archaeological practices and overcoming the confrontation between both activities. Such a model should be oriented from well-defined research programmes, giving priority to the actual demands of Archaeological Heritage and guaranting compatibility between such practical requirements and the production of ar-chaeological knowledge. It is proposed to shape Archaeology as a Technology and rethink the concept of archaeological record. The paper also examines some of the major problems which Archaeology faces at present and considers the role of the University in this situation.
