The goal of this research is to understand pottery production in the Alamito sites (northwestern Argentina), inhabited during the first centuries AD. To know this craft production is to enter into the social dynamics of these human groups characterized by a particular way of building, distributing in the landscape and abandoning their dwellings. 55 sherds representative of the stylistic-morphological variability of the sample under study were selected and their fabrics were assessed using petrographic analysis. The methodology used includes the study of the clay matrix, classification of inclusions (type, size and shapes) and description of cavities. The regularities and singularities observed in this data allowed to detect six classes of fabric, which were compared with fabric recipes from nearby areas. Thus, this paper analyzed the relationships between the Alamito pottery and other ceramic productions of northwestern Argentina during the Formative Period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
