Abstract
Las placas de metal figuran entre los itemes mas caracteristicos de la cultura material de Aguada. Se conocen poco mas de 30 ejemplares, los cuales se encuentran dispersos en colecciones de America y Europa y muy pocos de ellos fueron sometidos a analisis tecnicos. En esta oportunidad se dan a conocer los resultados de los estudios realizados sobre tres placas Aguada, orientados a obtener informacion sobre las cualidades tecnologicas de los materiales, aplicable al conocimiento de la dinamica sociohistorica de la epoca. En tal sentido, los datos son discutidos considerando la composicion de las piezas y los metodos de manufactura puestos en practica, adelantandose hipotesis sobre la trayectoria de la tecnologia metalurgica en el marco de las condiciones sociales, politicas e ideologicas dominantes. Palabras claves: placas de metal – La Aguada – analisis tecnicos – condiciones sociohistoricas. ABSTRACT Metal plaques are among the most characteristic items of Aguada’s material culture. Somewhat more than thirty plaques are known, dispersed in American and European collections, but only a few have been subjected to technical analysis. Here we give the results of studies made on three Aguada plaques to obtain information on the technological qualities of the materials, so as to gain knowledge about the sociohistorical dynamics of the epoch. Data are discussed taking into account the manufacturing methods of metal pieces and their composition in order to advance on hypothesis for the trayectory of metallurgical technology within the the framework of dominating social, political and ideological conditions. Key words: metal plaque – La Aguada – technical analysis – sociohistorical conditions.
