BASILE, Mara  and  RATTO, Norma. CALIBRATING A WORLD BLACK OVER RED. VISUAL, MORPHO-TECHNICAL AND TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF BELÉN POTTERY FROM THE FIAMBALÁ REGION (CATAMARCA, 13th-15th CENTURIES). Relaciones [online]. 2023, vol.48, suppl.1, pp.23-24. ISSN 0325-2221.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24215/18521479e054.

In order to evalúate the existence of changes and continuities in visual, technical and morphological terms (forms and contours) and to discuss their chronological valúe, the visual and morpho-technical analysis are articulated with the radiocarbon dates of the Belén style pottery from western Tinogasta. The ceramic assemblage analyzed is part of collections deposited in public or private museums and in government and/or educational institutions, which differ in the quality of the associated complementary information, both contextual and documentary.

Thisapproach allowed: (i) to reaffirm the deep reiteration ofimages, techniques, morphologies and ways of organizing the plastic space that endure over time; (ii) to identify certain changes, fundamentally, in the thematic and technical repertoires that, at least in the Fiambalá region, allow us to establish chronological differences between the Belén vessels; and (iii) to begin to assign a tentative temporality to vessels from unsystematic excavations deposited in the Collections without chronological information.

Keywords : Fiambalá; Belén pottery; visual analysis ,chronology ,12th to 15th centuries.
