Abstract

The decoration of a group of ceramics of Chilean diaguita and viluco type (dated between the 15th and 17th centuries A.D. and recovered from different archaeological sites in Northern Mendoza, Argentina), was analyzed using Micro Raman Spectroscopy (MRS) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF). According to the results obtained, hematite, vegetal carbon, pyrolusite, anatase and calcium compounds are the main components of the pigments used in the ceramic decorations.
