description	We present the results of ongoing research on different clay sources at Antofagasta de la Sierra, evaluating their potential for pottery-making. It included outcrops mapping, sample collection, petrographic characterisation and experimental archaeology to characterise different clay sources in Antofagasta de la Sierra. The former allowed locating and analysing clay components and the experimentation defined clay behaviour during pottery-making, both before and after firing. Our analyses established different categories based on clay appropriateness for pottery making: highly appropriate, slightly appropriate and non-appropriate clays. According to experimentation, this difference takes place after firing, as many highly-plastic and plastic clays disaggregate and peel off generating slightly hard and disaggregated fabrics due to the presence of small to large carbonate inclusions. These results provide a reference for archaeological studies of fabrics including the composition, granulometry and abundance of inclusions naturally present in local clays. In addition, data from experimental archaeology such as malleability and plasticity, contraction rate, thermal resistance and strength will help define the processes involved in pottery manufacture.

Presentamos los primeros resultados de una investigación, cuyo objetivo principal fue estudiar las diferentes fuentes de arcilla de Antofagasta de la Sierra y evaluar su potencialidad para la manufactura cerámica. A partir del mapeo de los distintos afloramientos, la toma de muestras, el análisis petrográfico y la arqueología experimental, se caracterizaron distintas fuentes de arcilla de Antofagasta de la Sierra. Los primeros estudios posibilitaron ubicar y analizar los componentes de las mismas y la experimentación permitió evaluar los comportamientos de las arcillas en los procesos de manufactura cerámica, antes y después de la cocción. Los análisis implementados permitieron establecer diferentes categorías en función de su adecuación a la producción cerámica: arcillas muy aptas, arcillas poco aptas y arcillas no aptas. Los resultados de la experimentación permitieron observar que esta diferencia tiene lugar luego del proceso de cocción, en el cual muchas de las arcillas que presentan una buena a muy buena plasticidad y maleabilidad, se disgregan y descascaran dando como resultado cerámicas con poca dureza y una textura disgregable debido, en todos los casos, a la presencia de inclusiones de carbonatos de tamaños medianos a grandes. Esta información resultará útil a la hora de abordar el estudio de la tecnología cerámica, al proporcionar datos de referencia para el análisis arqueológico, como la composición, la granulometría y la abundancia de los clastos presentes en las arcillas locales. Apresentamos os primeiros resultados de um projeto de pesquisa cujo objetivo principal foi estudar as diferentes fontes de argila de Antofagasta de la Sierra e avaliar seu potencial para a fabricação de cerâmica. Com base no mapeamento dos diferentes afloramentos, amostragem, análise petrográfica e arqueologia experimental, foram caracterizadas diferentes fontes de argila em Antofagasta de la Sierra. Os primeiros estudos permitiram localizar e analisar seus componentes, e a experimentação possibilitou avaliar o comportamento das argilas nos processos de fabricação de cerâmica, antes e depois da queima. As análises implementadas permitiram estabelecer diferentes categorias de acordo com sua adequação para a produção de cerâmica: argilas muito adequadas, argilas inadequadas e argilas inadequadas. Os resultados experimentais mostraram que essa diferença ocorre após o processo de queima, no qual muitas das argilas com plasticidade e maleabilidade boas a muito boas se desintegram e descamam, resultando em cerâmicas com baixa dureza e textura friável devido, em todos os casos, à presença de inclusões de carbonato de médio a grande porte. Essas informações serão úteis para o estudo da tecnologia de cerâmica, fornecendo dados de referência para análise arqueológica, como a composição, a granulometria e a abundância dos clastos presentes nas argilas locais.
