A CERÂMICA DO ENGENHO INHAMÃ, IGARASSU-PE: UMA ANÁLISE SOB A PERSPECTIVA DA PRODUÇÃO AÇUCAREIRA E DAS RELAÇÕES COMERCIAIS

Abstract

This article deals with the aspects related to the forms and functions of the ceramics used in sugar production in the Inhamã Sugar Mill, located in the coastal municipality of Igarassu, in the state of Pernambuco. The intention is to present an interpretative table about the volume and quality of the sugar produced, from the typological and morphological analyzes of the ceramic traces recovered in the archaeological campaigns undertaken in this sugar mil. In this context, information of maritime-commercial nature was approached as a way to assist in the understanding of logistics of buying and selling of sugar in an intercontinental scope.
