What time took away: theoretical-practical reflections regarding use of pre-Hispanic bedrock mortars from the llanos riojanos

For years, and until today, cavities in non-movable rocks called mortars have been the subject of various studies that sought to answer questions regarding their functionality and their relevance as materiality for everyday use.

description For years, and until today, cavities in non-movable rocks called mortars have been the subject of various studies that sought to answer questions regarding their functionality and their relevance as materiality for everyday use. Such investigations have been exhaustive and have provided a wealth of fundamental information for archaeological understanding, delving into physical-chemical and spatial studies. However, in a significant number of cases they have focused on answering questions related to its functionality. Such orientation has obscured the approach towards other conceptualizations, generating defined lines of work. In this contribution I will explore, after evaluating the background, the concept of function from a framework that takes into account “the apparent” (or the manifest) and “the latent” in the collective use of mortars. Incorporating this conceptualization, I hope to delve into the multi-agency nature of such materialities, as elements that fulfill various functions at the same time, since these are not organized according to a hierarchical logic, but rather coexist and complement each other in the link with other beings, both humans and non-humans. To illustrate, I will use a brief example from the Rioja plains, a territory that has more than 5,000 mortar cavities, whose function is still being discussed.

Durante años, y hasta la actualidad, las oquedades en rocas no móviles denominadas morteros han sido objeto de estudios diversos que buscaban responder preguntas respecto a su funcionalidad y su relevancia como materialidad de uso cotidiano. Tales investigaciones han sido exhaustivas y han brindado un cúmulo de información fundamental para el entendimiento arqueológico, profundizando en estudios físico-químicos y espaciales. No obstante, en un significativo número de casos se han focalizado en responder preguntas relativas a su funcionalidad. Tal orientación ha oscurecido el acercamiento hacia otras conceptualizaciones, generando líneas de trabajo definidas. En este aporte exploraré, previa evaluación de los antecedentes, el concepto de función desde un enmarque que tenga en cuenta “lo aparente” (o lo manifiesto) y “lo latente” en el uso colectivo de los morteros. Incorporando esta conceptualización, espero profundizar en la multi-agencialidad de tales materialidades, como elementos que cumplen diversas funciones al mismo tiempo, siendo que estas no se organizan según una lógica jerárquica, sino que conviven y se complementan en el vínculo con otros seres, tanto humanos como no humanos. Para ejemplificar, utilizaré un breve ejemplo de los llanos riojanos, territorio que posee más de 5000 oquedades de mortero, cuya función aún está. Durante anos, e até hoje, as cavidades em rochas imóveis denominadas morteiros têm sido alvo de diversos estudos que procuraram responder a questões relativas à sua funcionalidade e à sua relevância como materialidade para o uso quotidiano. Tais investigações têm sido exaustivas e têm fornecido um manancial de informações fundamentais para a compreensão arqueológica, aprofundando-se em estudos físico-químicos e espaciais. No entanto, num número significativo de casos concentraram-se em responder a questões relacionadas com a sua funcionalidade. Tal orientação obscureceu a abordagem a outras conceituações, gerando linhas de trabalho definidas. Nesta contribuição explorarei, após avaliação dos antecedentes, o conceito de função a partir de um quadro que leva em conta “o aparente” (ou o manifesto) e “o latente” no uso coletivo de argamassas. Incorporando esta conceituação, espero aprofundar a natureza multiagencial de tais materialidades, como elementos que cumprem diversas funções ao mesmo tempo, uma vez que não estão organizados segundo uma lógica hierárquica, mas sim coexistem e se complementam no elo com outros seres, tanto humanos como não-humanos. Para ilustrar, usarei um breve exemplo da planície de Rioja, território que possui mais de 5.000 cavidades de morteiro, cuja função ainda está em discussão. Centro de Estudios Históricos.
