Thermal properties of clays, experimental discs, and archaeological ceramics. The case of the Salado River depression in Buenos Aires (Argentina)
The archaeological evidence from the lower basin of the Salado river (Buenos Aires province) shows us a scenario in which hunter-gatherer-fisher groups settled and manufactured ceramics for almost 2400 years. These groups had direct access to resources such as clay, water and wood to be used as fuel...

description |
The archaeological evidence from the lower basin of the Salado river (Buenos Aires province) shows us a scenario in which hunter-gatherer-fisher groups settled and manufactured ceramics for almost 2400 years. These groups had direct access to resources such as clay, water and wood to be used as fuel, suitable for making containers in which different food resources were cooked and stored. This article presents the thermal results of local clays and experimental discs, through the application of three analytical techniques (X-ray Diffraction, Thermal Expansion, Differential Thermal and Thermogravimetric Analysis). In this study the porosity percentages of experimental samples and archaeological potsherds were also recorded through an adaptation of the Archimedes Method. The main goal of this work is to contrast the results obtained from the manufacture of experimental discs using local clays and their subsequent firing, with the thermal data obtained in archaeological potsherds to investigate possible firing temperatures to which the ceramics of the area were subjected. The thermal results of the clays, the experimentation, and the archaeological materials show similarities in the maximum firing temperatures reached (< 950 ºC) and in the diffractograms in relation to the minerals found. The porosity percentage is less than 33% indicating the use of low temperature porous clays. |

The main goal of this work is to contrast the results obtained from the manufacture of experimental discs using local clays and their subsequent firing, with the thermal data obtained in archaeological potsherds to investigate possible firing temperatures to which the ceramics of the area were subjected.

La evidencia arqueológica del curso inferior del río Salado (provincia de Buenos Aires) nos muestra un escenario en el cual grupos de cazadores-recolectores-pescadores se asentaron y manufacturaron cerámica durante casi 2400 años. Estos grupos tenían un acceso directo a recursos como arcilla, agua y maderas para ser usadas como combustible, aptos para la confección de recipientes en los cuales se cocinaron y almacenaron diferentes recursos alimenticios. Este artículo presenta los resultados de análisis térmicos de arcillas locales y discos experimentales, a través de la aplicación de tres técnicas analíticas (Difracción de Rayos X, Dilatometrías, Análisis Térmico Diferenciales y Termogravimétricos). En el marco de este estudio también se registraron los porcentajes de porosidad de muestras experimentales y de tiestos arqueológicos a través de una adaptación del Método de Arquímedes. El objetivo principal de este trabajo consiste en contrastar los resultados obtenidos de la manufactura de teselas/discos experimentales a partir de arcillas locales y su posterior cocción, con los datos térmicos obtenidos en tiestos arqueológicos con el fin de indagar en posibles temperaturas de cocción a las que fueron sometidas las cerámicas del área. Los resultados térmicos de las arcillas, de la experimentación y del material arqueológico presentan similitudes en las temperaturas máximas de cocción alcanzadas (< 950 °C) y en los difractogramas con relación a los minerales hallados. El porcentaje de porosidad es menor a 33% indicando el uso de arcillas porosas de baja temperatura. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13401 10.34096/arqueologia.t30.n3.13401 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13401/13370 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13401/13371 Derechos de autor 2024 Miranda Rivas Gonzalez, Susana Conconi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 Arqueología; Vol. 30 Núm. 3 (2024): septiembre-diciembre; 13401 Arqueología; Vol 30 No 3 (2024): septiembre-diciembre; 13401 1853-8126 0327-5159 Pre-Hispanic ceramics Archaeometric studies Experimentation Firing temperaturas Hunter-gatherer-fishers Cerámicas prehispánicas Estudios arqueométricos Experimentación Temperaturas de cocción Cazadores-recolectores-pescadores Thermal properties of clays, experimental discs, and archaeological ceramics.
