JUAREZ, Vanesa. NEW EVIDENCES IN RELATION TO THE SELECTION OF CERAMIC MATERIALS TO FORM PART OF THE FUNERARY CONTEXTS. PP9-III AND PP13-I AS CASE STUDIES (C. 1330-1000 AP) (ANTOFAGASTA DE LA SIERRA, CATAMARCA).. Comechingonia [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-0027.

The information presented in this paper corresponds to new results of a petrographic study conducted over a small assemblage of pottery fragments and pieces recovered in mortuary contexts. Such information is complemented by techno-morphological and functional data, already presented in previous publications, which enables us to deepen our knowledge regarding the characteristics of the materials included in such particular spaces. Likewise, an integral view of ceramic artifacts qualities will allow the formulation of interpretations regarding possible selection criteria followed by the people of the Puna for their incorporation in such contexts. The analyzed material was recovered in the archaeological sites of Punta de la Peña 9-Sector III and Punta de la Peña 13-Sector I, both located in the Puna microrregion of Antofagasta de la Sierra.

Keywords : interaction, pastes, mortuary, biography of the objects.
