CASTELLANOS, María Cecilia; QUIROGA, Mirta Fátima and NIEVES, Alexis A.. Late prehispanic pottery in the high ravines of Calchaquí (Salta): a first approximation to the pastes studies of Tacuil and Gualfín. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.3, pp.07-22.

Abstract The information presented of a pottery sample is recovered from settlements in the high ravines of the Calchaquí Valley, Salta province. The analyzed set belongs to excavations and surface collections, which were carried out in the Fort of Tacuil and Gualfín, and in the low enclosures associated with it. Settlements that present occupations that were dated by radiocarbon dating between, at least, the years 1200 y 1600 BC. Characterization of pastes was carried out at the microscopic level and using a loupe, integrating data from the stylistic analysis. The results obtained allow proposing, as a hypothesis, a local production of pottery in the area, a variability at the technological and stylistic level and circulation of certain styles during the period of the Regional and Inca Development Period. It leads us to suggest the participation of the high ravines’ populations in interaction circuits that included the surrounding sectors of the Calchaquí Valley, as the current puna of Catamarca.
