3D reconstructions of the ceramic assemblages of hunter-gatherers from the Northeastern coast of Chubut, Argentine Patagonia

The main aim of this article is to serve as an introduction to the use of a method not previously employed in the study of the pottery of hunter-gatherer groups from Patagonian Argentina: the three-dimensional (3D) virtual reconstruction of partially assembled containers. In the archaeological conte...

In the archaeological contexts of the study area —northeastern coast of the Chubut province— the ceramic material is highly fragmented, and although some potsherds were partially assembled, complete representations of the different morphologies were not documented prior to the application of this method. In this regard, our paper shows the technical-methodological procedure by which the virtual graphic images were obtained in 3D. Furthermore, we also discuss the data resulting from this analysis, information relating to the volume —or capacity— and weight of the ceramic pieces. As an initial interpretative tool, these variables allow us to propose concepts related to the use and transportation of these containers. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la aplicación de un método hasta el momento nunca empleado en el estudio de la cerámica de grupos cazadores-recolectores de la Patagonia argentina: la reconstrucción virtual en tres dimensiones (3D) a partir de piezas parcialmente remontadas. En los contextos arqueológicos de la costa nordeste de la provincia del Chubut el material cerámico se presenta altamente fragmentado y si bien se han remontado o ensamblado parcialmente algunas piezas, hasta la aplicación de este método no se había obtenido la representación completa de las distintas morfologías presentes. Al respecto, además de desarrollar el procedimiento técnico-metodológico mediante el cual se obtuvieron las imágenes gráficas virtuales en 3D, también se presentará la información que de ello deriva, entre lo más destacable, la capacidad o el volumen y el peso de las piezas cerámicas. Dichas variables permiten, al menos inicialmente, plantear algunos aspectos relativos al uso y transporte de estos contenedores.
