Abstract
LEMA, Verónica Soledad. Containers, Bodies and Topologies: An Integral Analysis of the Archaeological Collection at Pampa Grande (Salta, Argentina). Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2019, n.37, pp.95-118. ISSN 1900-5407. https://doi.org/10.7440/antipoda37.2019.05.
Objective/context:
From the analysis of the archaeological collection at Pampa Grande (Salta, Argentina) different containers (animals, ceramics, vegetables) are explored as bodies, together with the topological operations that confer meaning to them in funerary contexts.
Methodology:
Analysis of the archaeological collection and associated documentation together with bibliographical background.
Conclusions:
Other links and epistemic effectivities are proposed for the logical containers of Pampa Grande based on movements (breaking, turning, combining, settling, wrapping) that enable new topological aspects after or towards death, altering their affective capacities and potentialities.
Originality:
This article aims to provide a new look at the various elements that make up an archaeological collection and that are usually ordered according to the specialty of the researcher, rather than following the connections that the material itself suggests. Thus, this work provides an alternative relational network that links different container bodies from a topological approach that allows us to go beyond our usual academic view of them.
