Archaeometric and technomorphological analysis allowed to identify the use of clays mixed with ground potsherds grog, and in some cases quartz sand, to produce the pastes. Different types of vessels were identified, such as bowls, dishes, pots, and a plate. They mainly exhibit smooth surfaces and to a lesser extent corrugated and painted either fully or zoned with red or white. The vessels show strong similarities with the Guaraní pottery described at other sites in the Lower Delta and Martín García Island, as well as with diagnostic features associated with this group (shapes, techniques, and contexts of use). It is proposed that Arroyo Malo was a Guaraní village, where the production and use of pottery was linked to domestic and funerary practices. In this sense, the site constitutes an exceptional context for discussing the process of Guaraní southern expansion and its interruption by the European invasion of the region. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo caracterizar el conjunto cerámico del sitio arqueológico Arroyo Malo (provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina) y analizar las decisiones tecnológicas involucradas en sus cadenas operativas. El estudio de la alfarería mediante análisis arqueométricos y tecnomorfológicos permitió identificar el uso de arcillas, combinadas con tiesto molido y, en algunos casos, arena cuarzosa, para la elaboración de las pastas. Se identificaron distintos tipos de vasijas como cuencos, escudillas, ollas y un plato. Estas presentan mayormente superficies alisadas y en menor medida se observan corrugadas y pintadas totalmente o en zona de rojo o blanco. Los recipientes muestran fuertes correspondencias con la alfarería guaraní descripta en otros sitios del Delta Inferior y la isla Martín García, así como con rasgos diagnósticos asociados a este grupo (formas, técnicas y contextos de uso). Se propone que Arroyo Malo fue una aldea guaraní, donde la producción y el uso de la cerámica estuvieron vinculados a prácticas domésticas y funerarias. En este sentido, el sitio constituye un contexto excepcional para discutir el proceso de expansión meridional guaraní y su interrupción por la invasión europea de la región.
