Zoomorphic “bells” from Uruguay: first traceability attempt
Since the first publications on zoomorphic “bells” in Uruguay, from the 1930s to the present, the available information is fragmented, incomplete, and even inconsistent in some cases. Furthermore, the location of some of these pieces is currently unknown, as they have belonged to private collections...

I28-R145-9966_oai2025-11-17 Malán, Maira 2022-06-27 Since the first publications on zoomorphic “bells” in Uruguay, from the 1930s to the present, the available information is fragmented, incomplete, and even inconsistent in some cases. Furthermore, the location of some of these pieces is currently unknown, as they have belonged to private collections whose trajectories have not been publicly known. On several occasions, they have been subjected to both the legal and illegal market system. In this context, we present a first traceability record that systematizes the existing information, researches the life histories of the objects once recovered, and provides tools for heritage management. This record aims to assist competent institutions and researchers. We present here a first stage that includes 27 pieces, some of which are published for the first time. A summary of these life histories helps visualize some problems related to the formation processes of archaeological collections and their trajectories, the difficulties in their study, and the lack of updated legislation on the protection of archaeological heritage at the national level. This paper also identifies an epicenter of the distribution of this cultural element located in the Sauce-Artilleros area, Colonia, which concentrates 46% of the most complete pieces known so far in Uruguay. Desde las primeras publicaciones sobre “campanas zoomorfas” en Uruguay, en la década de 1930 hasta la actualidad, la información se presenta fragmentada, incompleta y hasta incongruente en algunos casos. Además, para algunas de estas piezas se desconoce actualmente su locación por haber pertenecido a colecciones privadas cuyas trayectorias no han sido de público conocimiento. En varias ocasiones, han sido sometidas al sistema de mercado legal e ilegal. Con el objetivo de organizar la información existente, investigar sobre sus historias de vida post-hallazgo y aportar herramientas para la gestión patrimonial, se inició un registro de trazabilidad al servicio de instituciones competentes e investigadores. Se presenta una primera etapa que contempla 27 piezas, algunas de las cuales se publican por primera vez. Un resumen de estas historias de vida permite visualizar algunas problemáticas relacionadas a los procesos de conformación de las colecciones arqueológicas y sus trayectorias, a dificultades en su estudio y a la falta de legislación actualizada sobre la protección del patrimonio arqueológico a nivel nacional. El trabajo además permite identificar un epicentro en la distribución de este rasgo cultural en la zona del Sauce-Artilleros, Colonia, que concentra el 46% de las piezas más completas conocidas hasta ahora en Uruguay. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9966 10.34096/arqueologia.t28.n2.9966 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9966/10140 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9966/12056 Derechos de autor 2022 Maira Malán Arqueología; Vol. 28 No. 2 (2022): May-August; 9966 Arqueología; Vol. 28 Núm. 2 (2022): mayo-agosto; 9966 1853-8126 0327-5159 Zoomorphic ceramic Life histories of objects Material culture Collections study Cerámica zoomorfa Historia de vida de objetos Cultura material Estudio de colecciones Zoomorphic “bells” from Uruguay: first traceability attempt Campanas zoomorfas de Uruguay: primer intento de trazabilidad 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=9966_oai |

Since the first publications on zoomorphic “bells” in Uruguay, from the 1930s to the present, the available information is fragmented, incomplete, and even inconsistent in some cases. Furthermore, the location of some of these pieces is currently unknown, as they have belonged to private collections whose trajectories have not been publicly known. On several occasions, they have been subjected to both the legal and illegal market system. In this context, we present a first traceability record that systematizes the existing information, researches the life histories of the objects once recovered, and provides tools for heritage management. This record aims to assist competent institutions and researchers. We present here a first stage that includes 27 pieces, some of which are published for the first time. A summary of these life histories helps visualize some problems related to the formation processes of archaeological collections and their trajectories, the difficulties in their study, and the lack of updated legislation on the protection of archaeological heritage at the national level. This paper also identifies an epicenter of the distribution of this cultural element located in the Sauce-Artilleros area, Colonia, which concentrates 46% of the most complete pieces known so far in Uruguay. |
