CLASSIFICATION OF GROUPS AND PETROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS: TOWARDS A CHARACTERIZATION OF THE POTTERY ASSEMBLIES OF THE COPACABANA RIVER BASIN (ISCHILÍN, CÓRDOBA, ARGENTINA).

In this article we present the results obtained from the macro and microscopic analysis of the pottery assemblies of four sites located in the Copacabana river basin (Ischilín, Córdoba, Argentina). Thepurpose of this study is to investígate the different ways of manufacturing ceramics. Firstly, a typology was elaborated, and then the variability of the identifiedgroups was tested trough the implementation of petrographic techniques. Based on these first analyzes, four petrographic groups were identified which indicate a difference in the addition of antiplastic in ceramic pastes and, therefore, different ways of making pottery are inferred.
