ROSSI, Micaela; FEELY, Anabel  and  RATTO, Norma. POTTERY FROM THE ALLUVIAL FAN OF LA TROYA BETWEEN THE 4TH AND 16TH CENTURIES A.D. (TINOGASTA DEPARMENT, CATAMARCA): USE AND CONSUMPTION PRACTICES ACCORDING TO THEIR SHAPES AND SIZES. Comechingonia [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.2, pp.3-3. ISSN 1851-0027.

La Troya (Tinogasta department, Catamarca) has been inhabited over time since the first agro-pottery occupations recorded in the 4th century AD until Inca times and their contact with the Spanish in the 16th century AD. This is known thanks to the different investigations carried out in the area, which show an intensive use of space during a long period and with different activities (residential, productive and funerary). Thispaper analyzes the morphological and dimensional variation of ceramics from the La Troya barreal over time and its relationship with the residential archaeological sites located in it, with the purpose of approaching the discussion about the use and consumption practices implemented by those who inhabited the alluvial throughout its occupational history. The samples analyzed were recovered during an archaeological impactstudy for the repaving of the RN60 road that crosses the 9 km extension of the alluvial. The results show the existence of variability in the morpho-dimensional characteristics of the ceramic material ascribed to the village societies of the first millennium (Formative) with respect to the state sociopolitical organizations of Inca times in contact with the local populations (Late Inca).

Keywords : ceramics morphological variability use practices La Troya.
