GASPAROTTI, Leticia. CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY THROUGH PETROGRAPHY IN MIRIGUACA RAVINE (ANTOFAGASTA DE LA SIERRA, CATAMARCA) DURING THE LATE PERIOD. Comechingonia [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-0027.
This paper is the result of the research performed on ceramic material from the site Corral Alto (Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca). Through the petrographic study of the pottery from this site we tried to present a first approximation of the ways of making ceramics during the Late Period in the gorge of the Miriguaca River. Throughout this work, it was sought to determine the mineralogical composition of ceramic pastes, to examine their relationship with local geological characteristics, and to investigate the technological choices and particular ways of doing, thinking about ceramics vessels as an object that assembles and gathers materials, people and places in extensive networks that give meaning. A study universe of 2171 ceramic fragments separated into 16 groups or families of fragments was considered. Starting from these groups, in this opportunity, 37 samples were analyzed petrographically. In this way, it was possible to establish certain characteristics of the technological choices made by the potters, what link the pottery of Corral Alto with a local, non-standardized and flexible production. The information obtained allowed to rethink the relations between these pottery practices and those carried out in other sectors of the microregion.
