Salt production in Gallo encantado (GE1), Chiapas state, Mexico: an analysis of ceramic technology from a perspective of evolutionary Archeology. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2021, vol.16, e534.  Epub 28-Abr-2023. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2021.v16.534.

This piece of research focuses on salt production during the Preclassic and late Postclassic periods in Gallo encantado (GE1). Using the theory of the evolution of ceramic traditions, a proposal was developed taking into account the stylistic and functional attributes portrayed by ceramics in order to define the differences between these two periods. The findings emerging from a direct comparison of frequency indicate that the attributes displayed by these ceramics characterize both periods and may have contributed to improve the salt production process. These functional improvements make it possible to understand the presence of that form of specialization in both the Preclassic and the Late Postclassic periods. Based on this interpretation, it can be inferred that the higher demand observed during the Preclassic period and the intensification of trade during the Late Postclassic period were the driving forces behind this specialization in ceramics.

Palavras-chave : Salt production; ceramic assemblages; natural selection; stylistic attributes; functional attributes.
