Abstract

Stylistic shifts in ceramics are often linked with sociopolitical changes, yet adopting new ceramic designs may indicate anything from shared aesthetic appeal to emulation. Focusing on multiple ceramic technologies is critical for understanding ceramic changes as they relate to wider social fluctuations. The relationships between clay and ceramic recipes, and communities of practice, have not been studied at the urban landscape of Angamuco, Michoacán in western Mexico. Petrographic and geochemical analyses of tempers and fabrics indicate that ceramics, including imperial Purépecha (a.d. 1350–1530) vessels, were created from local and regional materials, and that these materials remained relatively stable for over 1,000 years. Ceramic archaeometry in western Mexico has been relatively limited compared to other parts of Mesoamerica, and this study may be compared to future studies in the region.

墨西哥米却肯州 Angamuco 的普雷佩查帝国的陶艺社区和保守主义

陶瓷风格的转变往往与社会政治的变化有关，然而采用新的陶瓷设计可能表明从共同的审美情趣到仿效等任何情况。关注多种陶瓷技术对于理解陶瓷变化与更广泛的社会波动之间的关系至关重要。在墨西哥西部米却肯州安加穆科的城市景观中，还没有研究过粘土和陶瓷配方以及实践社区之间的关系。对温度和织物进行的岩相学和地球化学分析表明，包括普雷佩查帝国（公元 1350-1530 年）器皿在内的陶瓷都是用当地和区域材料制作的，而且这些材料在 1000 多年的时间里保持相对稳定。与中美洲其他地区相比，墨西哥西部的陶瓷考古相对有限，本研究可与该地区未来的研究进行比较。

期刊介绍： Ancient Mesoamerica is the international forum for the method, theory, substance and interpretation of Mesoamerican archaeology, art history and ethnohistory. The journal publishes papers chiefly concerned with the Pre-Columbian archaeology of the Mesoamerican region, but also features articles from other disciplines including ethnohistory, historical archaeology and ethnoarchaeology. Topics covered include the origins of agriculture, the economic base of city states and empires, political organisation from the Formative through the Early Colonial periods, the development and function of early writing, and the use of iconography to reconstruct ancient religious beliefs and practices.
