“…Se registra una buena proporción de fracturas finas y pastas con núcleos y márgenes generalmente oscuros, debido probablemente a una atmósfera restringida en oxígeno (Convención Nacional de Antropología 1966). La ausencia casi total de texturas flojas y la presencia minoritaria de fracturas muy ásperas o cortantes, sugiere que los recipientes fueron quemados a temperaturas por encima de los 600º C (Rice 1987). Las alfarerías gruesas, por su parte, se distinguen no sólo por su forma acampanada de anchas paredes, sino también por presentar otros atributos macroscópicamente observables, tales como el color de su pasta.…”

RESUMENEste trabajo explora la variabilidad petrográfica de un conjunto cerámico procedente de las tierras bajas del Paraná medio: específicamente del sitio La Palmera 2 (provincia de Entre Ríos, Argentina), con la finalidad de abordar aspectos tecnológicos del arte alfarero de las sociedades que habitaron la región durante el Holoceno tardío. Se ofrece una propuesta de estudio en la que se consideran comparativamente muestras de vasijas lisas y decoradas con distintas técnicas: pintura roja, incisión y modelado zoomorfo. Se analizan asimismo cortes delgados correspondientes a "alfarerías gruesas" o "campanas", artefactos peculiares de la arqueología del río Paraná. Los resultados señalan una ausencia de diferencias petrográficas significativas entre las muestras analizadas, sugiriendo que los alfareros aplicaron elecciones técnicas similares para la manufactura de vasijas lisas y decoradas. Al mismo tiempo, se detectan algunas características petrográficas específicas en las "alfarerías gruesas", indicando la implementación de elecciones tecnológicas particulares para la elaboración de estos artefactos. Palabras clave: Análisis Petrográfico, Arte Alfarero, Cuenca Del Paraná Medio, Holoceno Tardío.ABSTRACT This paper explores the petrographic variability of a ceramic assemblage from the lowlands of the middle Paraná: specifically from La Palmera 2 site (province of Entre Rios, Argentina), with the aim of approaching technological aspects of the pottery art of the societies that inhabited the region during the Late Holocene. We offer a study proposal in which we comparatively consider samples of plain vessels and decorated vessels, with different techniques: red paint, incision and zoomorphic modeling. Likewise, we analyze thin sections corresponding to "coarse ware" or "campanas", devices peculiar to the archeology of the Paraná River. The results point out a lack of significant petrographic differences between the analyzed samples, suggesting that the potters applied similar technical choices in the manufacture of both plain and decorated vessels.

“…A diferencia del uso, que es la forma concreta en que es utilizada una vasija en una situación dada, la función hace referencia a las capacidades generales de los artefactos cerámicos para desempeñarse de forma óptima en determinadas tareas, como almacenamiento, procesamiento y transporte (Rice 1996).…”

terra australis 42Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.

Reprinted with permission of the National Library of Australia. The excavations at An Sơn were funded by a Discovery Grant from the Australian Research Council. My own research was funded by the Australian Postgraduate Award.The analysis of the ceramic fabrics was conducted with SEM-EDX at the Electron Microscopy Unit at The Australian National University, with guidance from Frank Brink. I would also like to thank Glenn Summerhayes for teaching me the benefits and methods of SEM and the electron microprobe.There are a number of people I would like to recognise for their support over the past few years. Charles Higham has always offered advice and provided useful information over the years, even after departing the University of Otago after my Master's. Nigel Chang initially invited me to Ban Non Wat eight years ago, and allowed me to visit again to review the more recent neolithic discoveries in 2009. Fiorella Rispoli and Roberto Ciarla shared their knowledge of the neolithic in central Vietnam, and Fiorella's wealth of knowledge on ceramics has always been a reference for me. Lâm Thị Mỹ Dung opened up the ceramic collections at the University of Hanoi to me in 2009, which offered some valuable comparative ideas for this monograph. Louise Cort and Joyce White organised a workshop on Southeast Asian ceramics in Washington, DC and Philadelphia in 2010; an event from which I gained much inspiration and I feel privileged to have been a part of it. I would also like to acknowledge those individuals from afar who were interested in my research -it helped to keep the inspiration going, so thanks to Andreas Reinecke, Nishimura Masanari, and those I met at conferences over these past few years.Closer to home, I would like to thank Anna Willis for her knowledge about mortuary ritual at An Sơn. I am also grateful for the new insights into southern Vietnamese archaeology after working alongside Philip Piper at Rạch Núi. Thanks to Judith Cameron who was so supp...

“…La inferencia de la función es un aspecto importante, pero elusivo, en la interpretación de la cerámica y su contexto social (Lumbreras, 2005). Requiere la consideración cuidadosa del contexto, forma, dimensiones y propiedades físicas y mecánicas de las vasijas y residuos de los contenidos originales (Henrickson & McDonald, 1983;Hally, 1986;Beaudry, 1988;Mills, 1989;Neupert, 1994;Rice, 1996;Saunders & Hays, 2004). La composición, tamaño y abundancia de las inclusiones en la pasta tiene un efecto directo sobre algunos indicadores de la función, como la resistencia a la temperatura y al estrés térmico, la porosidad y la densidad de las vasijas (Rye, 1981;Rice, 1987).…”
