| Sumario: | A study of vessel form of three museums from Southern Mendoza was performed. Its main objective was to know the kind of forms that are present in the region, and to provide, from the results obtained, a comparative sample to analyze archaeological ceramic sherds. This work arises from high ceramic fragmentation and absence of entire vessels in archaeological sites. Accordingly, a data file was developed on the basis of variables that consider technological aspects and that are related to mobility of human populations. Form-function relation was also conducted in order to evaluate the role played by ceramic technology from trends noticed in Southern Mendoza. Results show high morphological variability in the region probably linked to the possibilities of use and to the archaeological expectations expected from mobile hunter-gatherer populations. |
