This work discusses the data obtained through multiple microfossils analysis made to the first complete vessel surveyed at La Alumbrera site (micro-region of Antofagasta de la Sierra, Andean Highlands, Catamarca, Argentina) during stratigraphic excavations. Together with the initial technical-morphological characterization of the container, the archaeobotanical analyses allowed an approach to the ways in which it was used and manufactured. This contributes to diachronic and synchronic documentation of material practices reproduced by the inhabitants of the site and compare them with those of the inhabitants of other sectors of the micro-region to understand the complex and particular social, political, economic, cultural and identity relationships that they reproduced, negotiated, and transformed, discursively and not discursively, consciously, and unconsciously, after ca. 1100 years BP.
