The article reflected about some archaeological information’s epistemic bases, and the justification of this study was the expansion and updating of the studies of Brazilian Archeological Terminology through the perspective’s interdisciplinary from Information Science field that seeks to keep in the scope of its reflections of groups and communities scientific. It was based on the method’s comprehensive-descriptive-interpretative, supported by Terminological and studies’ Information Representation to obtain results that demonstrate Archaeological Information is a set of traces, evidence, signs and clues located and treated. Thus, Archaeological Information it is a set of information and knowledge about the cultural, social identity, and material (ornamental technologies and technical technological) aspects of a given society and/or group belonging to an agrapha past. Archaeological information has the potential to visualize the context of cultural, social, identity, environmental and technological anticipations of current societies and their impacts on future societies, in view of its memorialistic-historical essentiality that constitutes material culture (knowledge). The Archaeological Information application deals with the efficient and effective representation (thematic - indexing/descriptive - cataloging) of its study objects (materials); facilitates the archaeologists’ written language; subsidizes the archaeologists’s orality professional intergroup and individual; minimizes the ambiguous the Information Society’s ambivalent content; facilitates the dissemination of Archaeological Information, beyond academic fraternities; facilitates the promotion of interdisciplinarity with other areas, especially for areas such as history, museology, archival science, library science, anthropology, paleontology and others, and manages archaeological information/knowledge regarding current social, cultural and environmental anticipation.
