Condorhuasi type ceramics and their correlations
Keywords:
Tihawanacoid styles , Ceramics of the fourth style, Anthropomorphic vessels, condorhuasi type ceramicAbstract
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).
Author Biography
-
Antonio Serrano, Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos
Antonio Serrano (Paraná, March 7, 1899 - Córdoba, December 12, 1982) was an Argentine archaeologist. As the first academic antecedent to highlight, we can mention his belonging to what was called "La Generación del '17" (The Generation of '17). The Asociación Estudiantil Pro-Museo Popular was a group of students between fifteen and eighteen years old from the Colegio de Concepción del Uruguay and the Escuela Normal de Paraná who promoted the creation of the Museum in their hometown. As the first Director of the Popular Museum he was one of the initiators of the University Reform of Córdoba in 1918. In 1917 he began to build an archive and library that 60 years later would be donated to the Provincial Library.
Serrano had an initial inclination towards natural sciences, but later he turned to anthropology and archaeology, although he had no academic training in the former. His first article was published in 1920 in El Diario and was entitled "Notas Arqueológicas. Hallazgo de un paradero indígena en las inmediaciones del Puerto Nuevo". However, his international recognition would come in 1946 when he was invited to participate in the Handbook of South American Indians published by the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, under the direction of Julian Steward.
The naturalist Ángel Gallardo; Eric Boman, from whom he learned the handling of ethnohistoric sources; the North Americans Cooper and Lothrop, of the diffusionist currents, and fundamentally Joaquín Frenguelli, were influential. Serrano graduated as Normal Professor of Science from the Normal School of Paraná in 1921 and took courses in History and Geography at the Faculty of Education Sciences of Paraná between 1922 and 1924, purely positivist areas.Reference
