Abstract

Se analizan los cambios en las opciones económicas y la tecnología cerámica de la población indígena del norte de Mendoza (Centro Oeste Argentino), como consecuencia de la dominación inca y la colonia europea. Con base en la evidencia arqueológica y etnohistórica se reflexiona sobre estas transformaciones a luz del concepto de etnogénesis. Se concluye que los agentes de cambio -nuevos contextos de producción y consumo- influyeron de modo distinto: durante el incario y la colonia se mantuvieron prácticas ancestrales de subsistencia a la vez que se incorporaron nuevas; por el contrario, la producción cerámica cambió drásticamente en cada período de dominación. 

This paper analyses the changes in subsistence practices and ceramic technology in the local indigenous population of northern Mendoza (west central Argentina), which resulted from the Inca domination and the European colonization. Based on the archaeological and ethnohistorical evidence, we discuss these changes in relation to the concept of ethnogenesis. We conclude that agents of change -new contexts of production and consumption- affected this differently: during the Inca period and colony, ancestral subsistence practices were preserved, in addition to the new ones; on the contrary, ceramic production drastically changed in each period.
