The first steps of the chaîne opératoire were analyzed. Essentially, those that relate to raw material provision, preparation, and paste elaboration. To this end, ceramic paste analysis on sherds recovered from the archaeological sites of El Remate and Bajo Los Cardones, and their potential raw materials are presented here. Paste composition and its attributes were analyzed using a binocular magnifying glass and a petrographic microscope. This revealed information about choices taken during pottery manufacture, and about the geological nature of the non-plastic elements in the ceramic paste. Alongside this study, local clay and sand deposits were analyzed, including the geological characteristics of the area. This allowed us to consider technological aspects of ceramic manufacture, especially of paste preparation. This data provided us with information on the existence of local resources suitable for pottery manufacturing; while suggesting that these raw materials were used effectively by local inhabitants during first millennium AD. Este trabajo constituye el primer abordaje sistemático sobre la manufactura alfarera en la Quebrada de Amaicha durante el primer milenio AD. Nos centramos en las primeras etapas de la cadena operativa, aquellas que involucran la obtención de las materias primas, su preparación y la elaboración de las pastas. Se presentan los análisis efectuados sobre conjuntos cerámicos hallados en los sitios arqueológicos El Remate y Bajo Los Cardones y los estudios de sus potenciales materias primas. Se analizaron la composición y características de las pastas mediante lupa binocular y microscopio petrográfico, lo que aportó información sobre las elecciones tomadas para elaborar las piezas y sobre la naturaleza geológica de los elementos no plásticos. Por otro lado, se estudiaron depósitos locales de arcillas y arenas, en combinación con las características geológicas del área. Todo esto permitió aproximarnos a los aspectos tecnológicos de la elaboración cerámica de ambos sitios, principalmente en lo que respecta a la preparación de las pastas; saber que existen recursos locales aptos para la elaboración de alfarería; y plantear su utilización efectiva por parte de los pobladores locales durante el período estudiado. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/3777 10.34096/arqueologia.t23.n2.3777 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/3777/3425 Arqueología; Vol. 23 No. 2 (2017): May-August; 35-61 Arqueología; Vol. 23 Núm. 2 (2017): mayo-agosto; 35-61 1853-8126 0327-5159 Manufactura cerámica Preparación de pastas Materias primas Quebrada de Amaicha Primer milenio AD Pottery manufacturing Pastes preparation Raw materials Quebrada de Amaicha First Millennium AD First millennium AD pottery from the Quebrada de Amaicha (Tafí del Valle Department, Tucumán Province): Insights on technology and potential raw materials La alfarería del primer milenio AD de la Quebrada de Amaicha (Departamento Tafí del Valle, Provincia de Tucumán): aportes sobre sus aspectos tecnológicos y potenciales materias primas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=3777_oai
