in this paper a preliminary analysis of a ceramic assemblage from the surface collection of the site corral alto (antofagasta de la sierra, catamarca) is presented. the study is developed from a technological perspective that try to evaluate the own choices that made each potter in the manufacturing process. it also attempts to access to the intentions or purposes that guided the production of the assemblage. in this sense, from the development of ceramic group discussed a number of variables related to the technological component of the pots. the results achieved are new information for the regional late period (ca. 1000 a 1430 d.c.) from the intermediate sectors of the basin of antofagasta de la sierra.
