Estudio de Pigmentos en Alfarería Estilo Negro Sobre Rojo de Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina

A groundbreaking analysis of pigments in the iconic 'Negro sobre Rojo' pottery style from Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina, reveals significant insights into its technological attributes and chronological variability. Researchers employed a combination of advanced techniques—including optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy—to unravel the compositional intricacies of these artifacts. The study's multi-disciplinary approach, involving collaboration with various specialists, allowed for nuanced interpretations that shed light on the cultural and temporal dimensions of this archaeological tradition. These findings not only deepen our understanding of the region's ceramic practices but also highlight the potential of integrating diverse analytical methods to reconstruct historical narratives.
