Resumen:
The aim of this paper is to study the use of ceramics of small-scale societies during the lateHolocene in northern Patagonia. The technological investment model predicts that use-time and utilitywill determine the investment in these. We explore how ceramics were used in short-term camps andaggregation sites during summer at high elevations, and residential camps during winter at lower elevations.To test the investment in ceramics we use four technological variables: temper size, averagethickness, surface treatment and firing. Our results indicate that hunter-gatherers expected a short term use in summer locations and therefore made a low investment in ceramics.
