Sumario:This paper focuses on the analysis of the ceramic material recovered from the site of El Taco 19 (7th and 8thcenturies AD), located on the summit of the El Alto-Ancasti mountain range. Due to the information scarcityon this materiality in the study area, we proposed to carry out a first approximation to it. Three stages ofanalysis were proposed: in the first place, a macroscopic study of the types of paste was carried out, laterwe proceeded to carry out a reconstruction of the ceramic forms and, finally, a performance analysis of thevessels identified. Through this, we were able to identify variability in the ways of making the vessels, alsopartially reconstructing the shapes of several pots and interpret some of the uses for which they were made.
