Abstract Our proposal for this article to focus on problematizing the anthropic interventions that can be seen in a circunscribed area of the hydrocarbon basin of the Province of Neuquén (Argentina). The diverse conditions (material and temporal) that surrounds the deposition or construction of the multiple objects and spaces not only represents a specific relation with the events that have already happened (and therefore with a previous anthropic materiality) but also pierce the funding ontological conceptions of time that imply, by themselves, future and past material projections. Using theoretical-methodological tools funded in Philosophy and Archeology we concentrate on analyzing the particularities and characteristics of the industrial materiality present in the Neuquén territory. We consider that an archaeological approach into the spaces and material forms that the hydrocarbon industry adopts, in its various expressions, can enrich -in a territory crossed by the oil, the colonial and the mapuche- the critical look on time and the founding anthropic materiality of Modernity.
