In this article we introduce some of the different key vectors of gestation and development of the so-called Media Archaeology, a field of knowledge and research framework that is the subject of this monograph. We start from a long term archaeological view of the subject, establishing transversal connections with authors, concepts and perspectives related to this field that allow us to understand the background that articulates it. Without wishing to be exhaustive, we have drawn up a brief state of the question that will allow us to be guided by the different approaches present in the monograph, showing its heterogeneity and constitutive complexity, through some of its most emblematic authors, while being aware of the need to advance in its particular development.
