“…The mineralogical composition of the ceramic body was determined via XRPD and used to reconstruct their original firing temperature ('archaeothermometry', Rice, 2015, pp. 99-116;Quinn and Benzonelli, 2018). This method makes use of the presence/absence of mineral phases that form or disappear at specific temperatures and atmospheric conditions, as determined experimentally and reported in 'bar diagrams' (Maggetti, 1982, p. 128;Maritan, 2004, p. 304;Maritan et al, 2007, p. 533;Nodari et al, 2007, p. 4668) (Figure 3).…”

The present paper re-examines the purported relationship between Late Neolithic/Early Chalcolithic pottery firing technology and the world's earliest recorded copper metallurgy at two Serbian Vinča culture sites, Belovode and Pločnik (c. 5350 to 4600 BC). A total of eightyeight well-dated sherds including dark-burnished and graphite-painted pottery that originate across this period have been analysed using a multi-pronged scientific approach in order to reconstruct the raw materials and firing conditions that were necessary for the production of these decorative styles. This is then compared to the pyrotechnological requirements and chronology of copper smelting in order to shed new light on the assumed, yet rarely investigated, hypothesis that advances in pottery firing technology in the late 6 th and early 5 th millennia BC Balkans were an important precursor for the emergence of metallurgy in this region at around 5000 BC. The results of this study and the recent literature indicate that the ability to exert sufficiently close control over the redox atmosphere in a two-step firing process necessary to produce graphite-painted pottery could indeed link these two crafts. However, graphite-painted pottery and metallurgy emerge at around the same time, both benefitting from the pre-existing experience with dark-burnished pottery and an increasing focus on aesthetics and exotic minerals. Thus, they appear as related technologies, but not as one being the precursor to the other.

“…Durante la cocción de la cerámica, las materias primas se transforman en otros compuestos cristalinos o amorfos; la técnica de difracción de rayos X permite hacer un seguimiento de la evolución de las fases en el material en función de la temperatura alcanzada. La identificación por DRX de determinados minerales, estables a temperaturas específicas, perite inferir las temperaturas de cocción (Shepard, 1956, p. 147;Maggetti, 1982;Heimann, 2017;Quinn & Benzonelli, 2018). Los análisis térmicos comprenden varias técnicas en las que se analizan el comportamiento y las variaciones de alguna magnitud al someter una muestra a un programa de calentamiento.…”

Resumen En la arqueología del Nordeste argentino son escasos los trabajos que estudian las condiciones de quema de la alfarería prehispánica, no habiéndose aplicado técnicas físico-químicas que midan las transformaciones que sufre la pared cerámica durante el proceso de cocción. Con el propósito de revertir este estado de situación, aplicamos difracción de rayos X, análisis térmico diferencial y termogravimétrico, y dilatometría sobre 31 muestras de cerámicas arqueológicas recuperadas en los sitios Los Tres Cerros 1 y Cerro Tapera Vázquez (Delta Superior del río Paraná). La mayoría de las muestras (i.e., contenedores restringidos y no restringidos, campanas y cuchara) fue cocida a temperaturas superiores a 550/650 ºC e inferiores a 800 ºC; cuatro no superaron los 550/650 ºC y dos fueron sometidas a temperaturas superiores a los 800/900 ºC. A partir de la integración de estos resultados con evidencia etnoarqueológica, experimental y arqueológica interpretamos el amplio rango de temperaturas de cocción detectado (< 550 ºC y > 800 ºC) como un indicador de quemas en estructuras abiertas (i.e., fogones o pozos). Esta información nos permitió discutir hipótesis sobre las condiciones de cocción propuestas en investigaciones previas y plantear a futuro un programa experimental que permitirá conocer distintos aspectos de las quemas prehispánicas.
