Abstract
Esta investigación se enmarca en el material cerámico de los contextos funerarios provenientes del rescate arqueológico del sitio La Pampa en el valle de Camaná, departamento de Arequipa. El estudio tiene como principal aporte un análisis general para dar a conocer las características principales de la cerámica, así como definir un estilo local o foráneo de los mismos. La cerámica tanto de cámaras como de fosas fueron analizadas de manera morfológica, tecnológica y estilística, dando a conocer aspectos locales tanto en decoración como en materia prima; así como detalles foráneos plasmados en los motivos decorativos (cuenco con representación de una “deidad” en perfil, proveniente de las cámaras) esto sería un indicador de contactos externos que pudieron haber repercutido en las características decorativas de la cerámica local. En la muestra, se logró identificar tres tipos de categorías teniendo la utilitaria, la decorada y las vasijas en miniatura presentes en ambos contextos funerarios. Las vasijas en miniatura son las que más predominan dentro de las formas, según los estudios el uso fue específicamente ritual o funerario, ya que contenían solo algodón y ovillos de hilos, además que la elaboración fue un poco defectuosa. Siendo el principal propósito de esta investigación dar a conocer de manera general las características tecnológicas, funcionales y decorativas que presenta dicho material permitiendo abordar la variabilidad estilística del conjunto cerámico estudiado y encontrado en esta parte del Perú.
ABSTRACT This research is framed in the ceramic material of funerary contexts from the archaeological rescue of the La Pampa site in the Camaná valley, department of Arequipa. The main contribution of the study is a general analysis to reveal the main characteristics of ceramics, as well as define a local or foreign style of them. The ceramics from both chambers and pits were analyzed morphologically, technologically and stylistically, revealing local aspects in both decoration and raw materials; as well as foreign details reflected in the decorative motifs (bowl with a representation of a “deity” in profile, coming from the chambers) this would be an indicator of external contacts that could have had an impact on the decorative characteristics of the local ceramics. In the sample, three types of categories were identified, with the utilitarian, the decorated and the miniature vessels present in both funerary contexts. Miniature vessels are the most predominant among the forms; according to studies, the use was specifically ritual or funerary, since they contained only cotton and balls of thread, and the production was a bit defective. The main purpose of this research is to make known in a general way the technological, functional and decorative characteristics that said material presents, allowing us to address the stylistic variability of the ceramic group studied and found in this part of Peru.
