First petrographic characterization of Late Prehispanic and Colonial ceramic pastes of the Southern Pozuelos Basin (Puna of Jujuy, Argentina)

We present here the first results of petrographic studies on ceramic pastes of the southern Pozuelos basin (Puna of Jujuy, Argentina); in the context of a broader research on ceramic manufacture for this part of the puna for late pre-Hispanic and colonial times. These materials were recovered in fiv...

Josefina Pottery Petrography Puna of Jujuy Cerámica Petrografía Puna de Jujuy We present here the first results of petrographic studies on ceramic pastes of the southern Pozuelos basin (Puna of Jujuy, Argentina); in the context of a broader research on ceramic manufacture for this part of the puna for late pre-Hispanic and colonial times. These materials were recovered in five excavated structures and a test pit in a rubbish deposit. Thirty fragments were selected to be thin sliced, over a previous classification of pastes in a binocular microscope, which were later analyzed in a petrographic microscope. Attributes of the matrix and of the inclusions were observed with plane and cross polarized light. The percentage of inclusions, matrix and voids was quantified through point counter analysis. Different pastes groups could be identified, through consideration of the presence, absence and the predominance of certain lithologies, that mainly correspond with the groups classified through binocular microscope, even though some groups had to be reconsidered. The thin sections analyzed might be accounting for two pre-Hispanic traditions of ceramic production, already identified in the literature: the “Casabindo style” and the “Yavi style” pottery. En este trabajo se presentan los primeros resultados de estudios petrográficos en pastas cerámicas de la cuenca sur de la laguna de Pozuelos, puna de Jujuy; en el marco de investigaciones sobre manufactura cerámica en esta porción de la puna para momentos prehispánicos tardíos y coloniales. Los materiales proceden de cinco recintos y de un sondeo en un basurero. Sobre una clasificación previa de las pastas en lupa binocular, se seleccionaron treinta fragmentos para realizar las secciones delgadas, que posteriormente fueron estudiadas en microscopio petrográfico. Se tuvieron en cuenta atributos de la matriz y de las inclusiones tanto con luz polarizada sin analizador como con analizador. Se cuantificó el porcentaje de inclusiones, cavidades y matriz mediante point counter. Sobre la base de la presencia o ausencia y predominio de determinados tipos de litologías se pudieron distinguir diferentes grupos de pastas, que coinciden mayormente con la clasificación en lupa binocular, aunque algunos grupos debieron ser reformulados. Los cortes analizados pueden estar dando cuenta de dos tradiciones prehispánicas de producción cerámica, ya identificadas en la literatura previa: la cerámica “estilo Casabindo” y la “estilo Yavi”.
