PRIMEROS ESTUDIOS SOBRE MANUFACTURA CERáMICA DE CONTEXTOS COLONIALES DEL SUR DE POZUELOS (PUNA DE JUJUY, ARGENTINA)

The results of the first studies on ceramic materials from three colonial contexts of south Pozuelos are presented here. These studies were undertaken from a technological perspective. Macroscopic and sub macroscopic observations on attributes related to the production sequence were made, including pastes attributes, morphology and surface characteristics. The results, when compared to previous analysis of prehispanic materials,allowed identifying several continuities in the production of prehispanic and colonial pottery, as well as some discontinuities. The prevalence of the continuities in the analyzed pottery allows stating that the material culture from the studied colonial contexts had not gone through great changes since prehispanic times.
