The arrival of Sebastian Gaboto and his expedition (1527-1529) meant the encounter between Europeans and diverse ethnic groups settled in the confluence of the Carcarañá and Coronda Rivers. The aim of this paper is to analyse this cultural dynamic through pottery analysis, not only based on the local pottery production, but also on the use of foreign artefacts and significance given within the multi-ethnic landscape. The ongoing analytical strategy, allows us to shed some light on the conquest process and its derived situations, that is to say, to test the integration or persistence of the cultural diversity during the early colonization period of America.
