Abstract
Abstract We review here the early ceramic productions of South America from north to south along the Andes and in the greater Amazon region, highlighting technological characteristics and manufacturing techniques within the framework of communities of practice. The knowledge about technology acquired in recent years thanks to new analysis techniques and discoveries offers an updated perspective on the beginning of ceramics and allows us to portray the diversity of productions witnessed at this early stage. From fairly crude to very well-crafted products, ceramics were handmade and low-fired, often displaying a wide range of surface treatment and decorative techniques. They show cultural identities and testify to the existence of multiple social interactions and influences.
