          Abstract

          Se presentan aquí los resultados del trabajo experimental desarrollado dentro del proyecto de investigación que procuró caracterizar los modos de hacer cerámica de las sociedades formativas del sur de los valles Calchaquíes (Noroeste Argentino). El objetivo fue dilucidar comportamientos técnicos para la confección alfarera prehispánica estudiada a partir de la comparación de las pastas arqueológicas con aquellas obtenidas de manera experimental. Para tal fin, se realizaron cinco series experimentales con arcillas y arenas recolectadas en el sur del valle del Cajón, en la falda occidental del Aconquija, en el valle de Santa María y en el sur de la quebrada de Las Conchas. Se elaboraron briquetas con diferentes proporciones de estas materias primas, que se cocieron a distintas temperaturas en horno eléctrico para lograr control térmico. Luego se compararon las muestras cocidas a 650° C con el material arqueológico de la Serie Fina y la Serie Ordinaria. El trabajo petrográfico y comparativo entre ambos tipos de pastas reforzó la hipótesis sobre la existencia de estilos técnicos alfareros durante el primer milenio DC en el área de estudio.

          Translated abstract

          The results of experimental work performed as part of a larger research project aimed at characterizing the ways of making pottery within Formative societies of the southern Calchaquí valley, Northwestern Argentina, are presented. The main objective of this work is to elucidate the technical behaviors involved in pre-Hispanic pottery manufacture by comparing archaeological and experimental pastes. Five experimental series were made with clay and sand collected from the southern Cajon valley, the western slope of Aconquija mountain, the Santa María valley and the south part of Quebrada de Las Conchas. Briquettes were prepared by combining different proportions of these raw materials, which were subsequently cooked in an electric kiln at various temperatures to allow for heat control. Samples cooked to 650° C were compared with fine and ordinary series archaeological pottery. Petrographic and comparative work carried out on both types of ceramic pastes reinforced the hypothesis of the existence of technological styles of pottery making during the first millennium AD in the study area.
