Proyecto Petrografía de la Cerámica de La Quemada, Zacatecas
Summary
This project seeks to identify the productions zones of several decorated ceramic wares that are hypothesized to have circulated within the Zacatecas region of Northwest Mexico during the Epiclassic period (600-900 C.E.). The study focuses on decorated wares recovered from the site of La Quemada and stylistically similar wares recovered from other centers in the region. A sample of 806 sherds from nine centers and one site cluster, which represents seven distinct occupational subareas contemporaneous with La Quemada, has been selected. Petrography and chemical analyses will be used to identify the production zones of selected wares. The ceramic provenance designations will then be used to track intraregional interaction patterns and exchange dynamics.
