Abstract (English):	This article analyses the impact of the San Antonio mine owned by Cementos Argos S. A., which extracts limestone in open pits, that affects the cultural rights of the communities in its area of influence (Santa Rosa de Viterbo and Duitama). Historically, there has been an imposition of a discourse of extractive economy elements as heritage, which has led to economic primarization through symbols that are still common in institutional circles and delays in the issuance of a regulatory framework on cultural rights as a constitutional mandate. Additionally, it is evident that this mine is a scenario for the installation of neo-extractivism, giving rise to the massification of mining extraction and the weakening of state surveillance, which results in the lack of protection of the communities' right to the social appropriation of archaeological cultural heritage. The impacts are evident in the deficient research methodology of the archaeological heritage management instrument, the failure to comply with established management measures, and the misrepresentation of information by the company to the communities. Such actions have limited access to information and the effective participation of communities in the management of their cultural heritage and in decisions about their territory.

Abstract (Spanish):	Se analiza el impacto de la mina San Antonio de la Empresa Cementos Argos S. A., que extrae piedra caliza a cielo abierto, sobre los derechos culturales de las comunidades de su área de influencia (Santa Rosa de Viterbo y Duitama). Históricamente se verifica el establecimiento de discursos de patrimonialización de elementos de la economía extractiva, que propiciaron la primarización económica a través de símbolos aún frecuentes en medios institucionales, y la dilación en la expedición de un marco normativo sobre derechos culturales como mandato constitucional. Adicionalmente, se evidencia cómo dicha mina es un escenario de instalación del neoextractivismo, al dar lugar a la masificación de la extracción minera y la flexibilización de la vigilancia estatal, que resulta en la desprotección del derecho de las comunidades a la apropiación social del patrimonio cultural arqueológico. Los impactos se evidencian en la deficiente metodología de investigación del instrumento de gestión de patrimonio arqueológico, el incumplimiento de medidas de manejo establecidas y la tergiversación en la información de la empresa a las comunidades. Tales acciones han limitado el acceso a la información y la participación efectiva de las comunidades en la gestión de su patrimonio cultural y en las decisiones sobre su territorio.
