Abstract

ROBLEDO, Andrés  and  GASPAROTTI, Leticia. POTTERY TECHNOLOGY IN LATE HOLOCENE OCCUPATIONS (ca. 1900 YEARS BP) IN THE ONGAMIRA VALLEY (CÓRDOBA, ARGENTINA). Relaciones [online]. 2021, vol.46, n.1, pp.101-120. ISSN 0325-2221.

We present the first analytical results of the pottery assemblage retrieved from the Parque Natural Ongamira 1 site excavations, located in the Ongamira valley (Ischilín, Córdoba, Ar gentina). The objective of this paper is to inquire into the production, use and disposal of this record, in accordance with the identified contexts, in order to make the first contributions to the production and use practices in relation to this materiality in this valley. From macroscopic and microscopic studies, we were able to identify the presence of at least six vessels in different oc- cupation contexts, with differences both in their pastes and in surface finishes and decorations. Using microscopic petrography analyses, we were able to identify four types of paste composi- tion variants; two of these may have been from a local source. By studying the ceramic objects used by those who inhabited the valley around 1900 BP, we can explore the relationships that existed among them.
