PRIETO OLAVARRIA, Cristina et al. North Mendoza Indigenous pottery analysis current state. Technology, chronology and distribution. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.10, suppl.1, pp.95-104. ISSN 1852-060X.

Technological and typological analysis of archaeological ceramics of northern Mendoza province allowed to define the variability in local production over a period of almost a thousand years, between ca. 1200-1300 years BP. Agrelo and Viluco are the best known and widely distributed ceramic types and other ceramic groups were defined: Gris/Marrón, Anarajando Rojizo and the Viluco Colonial. Local types manufactured in Inca Uspallata tambos were found at sites of the high-foothill and the piedmont. Foreign ceramic types also Tocota, Diaguita and Copiapó Negro sobre Rojo, were found isolated. Meanwhile, radiocarbon and termoluminscence dating allowed to clarify the chronologies, and petrographic analysis allowed detect the correspondence of the inclusions with the local geology and in other cases the presence of foreign raw materials, indicating mobility and/or exchanges with neighboring areas.
