In this work an approach to late pottery from Valle de Hualfín (Catamarca, Argentina) is presented, with the main objective of analyzing its participation in the life of the mid-way second millennia valley’s inhabitants. Specifically, we inspect the ways in which potters organized themselves for pottery’s manufacture, how the vessels were used, in what specific contexts they participated and how they circulated, from a point of view engaged with the interaction between the sociopolitical situation by that moment in the zone and the actor’s daily practice, supported in the general idea that vessels were mediators in the different action spheres in which persons were mutually associated. The investigation that follows is carried out in a regional perspective, and pottery recovered in a variety of settlements and situations is considered. Thus, we examine Belén and ordinary pottery, the main ensembles in terms of number of vessels and, in second place, fine non-Belén pottery found in fewer number. Theoretical bases which guide this work considers practice/agency studies, and the arguments related to “the social” conducted by Latour (2008). The specific treatment of ceramic materials is based on some notions from Conductual Archaeology, the critics made to this conception by the line of Anthropology of technology; and the ideas on craft production organization and its critical review that can be made from the other theoretical lines examined. For de consecution of the work we focus on the finished ceramic objects, conceptualized as an effect of stabilized relations; on the definition of its spatial and chronological relations, and on the subjects that emerge from the different theoretical approaches outlined. Pottery under analysis is situated, in addition, in the archaeological landscapes of the valley and, in this context, we analize some topics related to the different points of view respect the social order. Two big groups of ceramic materials are analyzed. First, we take an assemblage of mainly funerary origins, which corresponds to Benjamin Muñiz Barreto Collection, from Museo de La Plata (Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, UNLP), recovered during VI expedition to the valley, in the present places of Puerta de Corral Quemado, El Eje, Loconte, San Fernando and Palo Blanco. Second, we consider generally fragmentary excavated materials in different ancient archaeological settlements (Cerro Colorado, Loma de Ichanga, Pueblo Viejo de El Eje, El Molino and Loma de la Escuela Vieja), and we also incorporate a set of materials from Loma de los Antiguos, recently analyzed. The different studies carried out are focused in the examination of morphological and dimensional variability, we introduce a classification for the ordinary set and a re-elaboration for the Belén vessel set; and we analyze the variability of morphological zones for each ceramic group, the size ranges and the morphometrical variation for the study of ceramic standardization. Composition studies are conducted trough petrographical and neutron activation analysis, which are considered in a close relation with geological environment. Different lines to study main intentional and definite uses are presented trough the study of performance characteristics and wear-uses traces. Finally, a general view to final contexts of use is outlined, and an analysis of distribution and amounts of ceramic objects is made. Results allow us differentiate production and use of ordinary pottery than that of Belén pottery, and suggest a pottery production domestic way, mainly in those dispersed settlements, simultaneously with a small workshops production mode with few potters in bigger and concentrated settlements. The uses of different recipients cross the set of practices in which ceramic containers could have been involved, in a way that we can’t distinguish the elaboration of specific ceramic containers for particular practice spheres. Fine non-Belén pottery, probably mainly of nonlocal manufacture, present differential distributions, and its greater frequency in specific zones and sites can be related with an important people circulation and with Inka settlings in the surroundings.
