Abstract
SALAZAR, Julián and FRANCO, Francisco. Pottery assemblages and daily activities in a first millennium house cluster (Tafi Valley, Tucumán). Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2019, n.56, pp.321-347. ISSN 1668-8104.
This paper addresses the spatial variability of daily practices from the archaeological analysis of a pottery assemblage recorded in the excavations of a first millennium AD house cluster located in La Bolsa 1 (Tafí Valley, Tucumán). The studies try to solve three main questions: How could pottery assemblages be inferential traces of human practices? What are the formal, technological and functional characteristics of a ceramic assemblage recovered in domestic contexts of the first millennium? How do pottery vessels participate in the articulation of practices and the reproduction of social structures in the early villages? In order to answer these questions, we have applied the analytic tools designed by Karina Menacho (2001; 2007), from which we recover her functional classification of the pottery record, developed upon ethnographic and ethnoarcheological works
