Abstract

This paper examines the interaction of two ware traditions in the Maridíaz mortuary assemblage (Pasto, Nariño, Colombia), a rare, well‐documented cemetery context in which Piartal, Tuza, and hybrid vessels co‐occur. Using portable X‐ray fluorescence ( n = 39) and 3D geometric morphometrics ( n = 25), we find shared ceramic compositions, supporting continuity in raw‐material selection and fabric preparation, whereas there are notable differences in the finishing stages of production across the wares (slips, pigments and finishing techniques). Morphological data demonstrate contrasting trends in intervessel and intravessel variation in vessels. Compositional and morphological data show that ‘hybrid’ vessels from Tomb 27 combine both ware traits in distinct ways. Together, these results refine the interactions of makers of both wares, suggesting the selective recombining of techniques rather than following one technological tradition wholesale, and with differential intravessel consistency occurring alongside sustained diversity among makers within a shared community of practice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
