Archaeological thinking has undergone effervescent criticism in recent decades as a result of ideas that challenge the hegemony of modern categories. The humanistic duality, the preponderance of discursiveness, and the notion of linear time, are some examples of categories that have been in check since the end of the last century. This scenario ended up providing a more pertinent approach between Archeology and other areas, such as Art. In this article, then, I provide an analysis of this interaction, highlighting some caveats that we should take before this dialogue. Still, I argue that Archeology should use Art, but not as mere inspiration, as a new kind of Archeology that promotes analogies, but as an instrument capable of providing us with a more combative epistemology, more in keeping with the proper characteristics of archaeological making. Finally, I bring here examples of three works developed in recent years that I think illustrate this potentiality.
