It is on fire. Pottery firing kilns from La Cuestecilla site, La Rioja. Analysis of firing technologies
In this paper, we focus on the analysis of a group of combustion structures identified in Group 9 of the La Cuestecilla site, located in the central Antinaco valley, Northern region of La Rioja province, which chronologically correspond to the Middle Period (550-1000 A.D.). The 23 structures exhibit...

| Sumario: | In this paper, we focus on the analysis of a group of combustion structures identified in Group 9 of the La Cuestecilla site, located in the central Antinaco valley, Northern region of La Rioja province, which chronologically correspond to the Middle Period (550-1000 A.D.). The 23 structures exhibit varied morphologies and dimensions. The complete excavation of six of them allowed us to improve our understanding of the technologies these societies implemented for pottery ring. We present a detailed description and interpretation of the excavated kilns, focusing on the particular characteristics that explain their functioning. The identification and analysis of the formal features of these structures, and the first experimental tests carried out with a replica of one of them, allowed us to conclude that they are one chamber kilns with upward heat flow to fire pottery. |
