Description
Summary:In a recently published work (14) I dealt with a type of pottery, from Northwestern Argentina, which both for its decoration and its forms contrasted with the characteristic types of the Diaguita cultures. I called it Condorhuasi because the forms and specimens that I consider more typical come from this place in the Department of Belén, in the Province of Catamarca. It is not an unknown ceramic for archaeologists, since a very typical specimen of it, from Belén, was published by Adán Quiroga (13) and reproduced by Ambrosetti in his Notas Arqueológicas (1). This same specimen was included by Odilia Bregante in the chapter on ''local pottery'' in her book on northeastern ceramics (p. 257) with this sensible observation: "These objects that for now appear as isolated elements in the midst of a material with which they have little or nothing to do with, could become in the future typical pottery of a certain area" (2).
