Abstract

Ver detalles           957 / 5.000   Resultados de traducción Resultado de traducción The decoration on domestic industrial ceramics during the 19th century was very varied and responded to a system of production, distribution and consumption. Rosario, as an emerging city, with the introduction of capitalism in 1870 in Argentina, could not remain alien to that system and the archaeological record can indirectly reflect that general context, but articulated to the local one. A group of earthenware – those decorated with sponge or sponged – despite their apparent quantitative insignificance shows how European industrial products reached a city that, at that time, was in the process of both economic and social change. The global and local transformations of the market can be read in this small archaeological complex, which belongs to the last three decades of the 19th century. The objective of this work is to show these socioeconomic processes through these fragments recovered from Rosario garbage dumps.
