The Economic Context of Early Pottery Production in the Case of San Jacinto 1
San Jacinto 1, an archaeological site located in the savanna region of the north coast of Colombia, South America, reveals evidence for logistically mobile hunter-gatherers who made pottery and collected and processed plants from 5940 ± 60 BP until 5190 ± 40 BP (6000-5000 BC calibrated dates). The s...

San Jacinto 1, an archaeological site located in the savanna region of the north coast of Colombia, South America, reveals evidence for logistically mobile hunter-gatherers who made pottery and collected and processed plants from 5940 ± 60 BP until 5190 ± 40 BP (6000-5000 BC calibrated dates). The site is discussed in terms of the social and economic context of the early evidence of pottery in the New World. Social activities and aggregation are indicated and tied to the use of logistic mobility strategies within a restricted territoriality in a highly seasonal environment. Lithic technology also points to the intensification of plant processing as an early stage in the continuum leading to a dependency on food production. This is the first time that a special-purpose site of this kind has been reported for the American tropics. |
