Sumario:In this paper, we explore the preliminary results of macrotrace analysis on Saujil stye pottery from the La Florida archaeological site (Valle de Abaucán, Tinogasta, Catamarca). The main goal of this paper is to recreate the châine opératoire involved in making Saujil funerary urns. To achieve to this, we selected a representative sample of sherds and evaluated the macrotraces left by ancient potters from gestures performed during pottery making. We used the systematic methodological approach developed by García Roselló and Calvo Trías (2013). Additionally, ceramic pastes were characterized with a binocular microscope and petrographic thin sections. The results allow us to propose a tentative châine opératoire for the primary and secondary techniques in making Saujil funerary urns and to identify the gestures involved in making pottery.
