Résumé
Soumis à Archaeometry.
This study investigated the Chupícuaro ceramic production in Formative Mesoamerica through geochemical and petrographic examinations of a large set of Chupícuaro ceramic vessel sherds. The results are consistent with local domestic production using locally available resources, both for clays and for pigments of the painted decorations. Several production sites with their own sources of raw materials would have co-existed in the Acámbaro Valley, capable of great technical and stylistic mastery and uniformity. This production has evolved in the diachrony. In particular, the study reveals a change in the sources of raw materials between the two successive periods Chupícuaro and Mixtlan.
