In this direction, the present contribution aims to present a methodological design in order to discuss how and in which extent technological properties and postdepositional processes affect the integrity of the superficial ceramic record, by considering seven ceramic assemblages corresponding to hunter-gatherer populations from the centre-east and south-west of La Pampa province, Argentina. Through this analysis, it is concluded that environmental variables only explain partially the weathering degree and fragmentation of the ceramic assemblages. Complementary, technological aspects such as low cohesiveness, high porosity, and rare paste inclusions play a major role in the weathering explanation, whereas the thickness seems to be directly link with the ceramic fragmentation. In contrast, experimental analysis indicate that environmental variables are the main cause of ceramic weathering. Additionally, in the experimental test, technological properties such as the presence of cavities, cohesiveness and surface treatment have changed substantially only in a short period of time. Thus, the relevant categories chosen to build typologies have first to be discussed in order to make accurate archaeological interpretations. La diversidad, frecuencia y distribución espacial de la cerámica hallada en superficie son propiedades que dependen, entre otros aspectos, de su grado de preservación. En este sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un diseño metodológico para discutir cómo y cuánto las características tecnológicas y procesos postdepositacionales afectan la integridad del registro superficial, tomando como caso de estudio conjuntos de materiales provenientes del centro-este y sudoeste de la Provincia de La Pampa, Argentina, perteneciente a contextos de cazadores recolectores. Los resultados de siete sitios muestran que el ambiente explica parcialmente el grado de meteorización y fragmentación de la muestra. Complementariamente, ciertas características tecnológicas como la baja cohesividad, la alta frecuencia de cavidades y la escasez de inclusiones en las pastas parecen tener un peso mayor en la preservación de los conjuntos, mientras que el grosor de los tiestos parece ser clave en el índice de fragmentación del material cerámico. En el trabajo experimental, el ambiente explica más claramente el grado de meteorización del registro. Asimismo, la experimentación señala que algunas propiedades tecnológicas como la presencia de cavidades, la cohesividad, el color y el acabado de superficie pueden cambiar en un lapso temporal muy breve. Todo esto invita a pensar acerca de cuáles son las categorías relevantes para desarrollar tipologías y hacer inferencias sobre el registro arqueológico. Centro de Estudios Históricos.
