Continuity and change in the ceramic technology of the northwest of Mendoza province (Argentina)

In this paper, we present the results of the analysis of a ceramic assemblage from sites located in different altitudinal environments of northwestern Mendoza, with a chronological framework that includes all of the so-called Middle period of the Agropottery stage of Central Western Argentina. To as...

To assess the changes and continuities of ceramics within the Middle Period in the study area, and to evaluate the variation between highland and lowland sites, we carried out analyses of different states of measurable and observable attributes at the macroscopic level, taking into account their level of temporal and spatial correlation and co-occurrence. From a synchronous perspective, results suggest few and slight variations between highlands and lowlands, linked to functional requirements of pottery. From a diachronic perspective, we observed changes and continuities in most of the evaluated attribute states. The observed changes do not appear as a break in the archaeological record determined by the presence of allochthonous ceramics but rather as a gradual trend towards the incorporation of certain locally replicated technical choices that co-vary over time, and may be linked to a scenario of changes in subsistence and in population dynamics at the local and regional level. Se presentan los resultados del análisis de un conjunto cerámico cuyos contextos de hallazgo corresponden a sitios emplazados en distintos ambientes altitudinales del noroeste de Mendoza, y cuyo marco cronológico incluye la totalidad del denominado período Medio de la etapa Agroalfarera del Centro Oeste Argentino. Con el objetivo de evaluar cambios y continuidades en la cerámica al interior del período Medio y observar variación entre sitios de tierras altas y bajas, se llevaron a cabo análisis de distintos estados de atributos medibles y observables a nivel macroscópico, considerando su grado de correlación y coocurrencia temporal y espacial. Desde una perspectiva sincrónica, los resultados sugieren escasas y leves variaciones entre tierras altas y bajas vinculadas a requerimientos funcionales de la alfarería. Desde una perspectiva diacrónica, se observaron cambios y continuidades en la mayor parte de los estados de atributos evaluados. Los cambios observados no aparecen como un salto en el registro determinado por la presencia de cerámica alóctona, sino como una tendencia gradual a la incorporación de determinadas elecciones técnicas replicadas a nivel local, que covarían en el tiempo y pueden estar vinculadas a un escenario de cambios en la subsistencia y en las dinámicas poblacionales a nivel local y regional.
