Abstract The manufacture of baskets was a widespread practice for the agro-pottery societies that populated the Villa de Soto region, Córdoba, in times immediately prior to the implantation of the Spanish crown. The environmental conditions of this area do not make possible the conservation of organic material, however, the imprints on the surfaces of the vessels constitute indirect evidence that, with the necessary precautions, become an important source of information on basket techniques. We present here the analysis of the basketry production from ceramic fragments with basketry imprints from said region. With the use of a descriptive analytical code and the application of statistical techniques of multivariate analysis (cluster analysis), we arrived at two characteristic techniques in the preparation of baskets, simple spiral (coiled) and wrapped string (wrapped twining), being able to distinguish varieties within them. These results allow us to unravel some of the different events of weaving in these societies and the multiple articulations that these entail.
