| Sumario: | Since the beginning of the archaeological discipline in northwestern Argentina, drawing has been an integral part of disseminating and understanding of the past. It is still important today, despite the development of new technologies in graphic representation. This paper focuses on the analysis of the modes of graphic representation of metallurgical ceramics, which are involved in producing metal objects. These ceramics are one of the most prominent types of evidence about metallurgical activity but are usually highly fragmented in the archaeological record. An adequate way of presenting them is a fundamental issue in communicating the object of analysis, heritage conservation, and strengthening comparative analyses. After tracing the historical trajectory of the graphic representations of this category of objects in the development of the discipline in Argentina, this paper seeks to create a space for reflection on the most appropriate modes of its representation. It also discusses the limitations and potential of drawing and various photographic options. The possibilities offered by photogrammetry in the study of metallurgical ceramics are discussed. In view of the analyzed cases, it is concluded that while drawing is ideal for representing the shape and dimensions of these ceramics, photography is ideal for appreciating their history of production and use. Photogrammetry can make an important complementary contribution to drawing and photography since it makes it possible to create high-quality, scaled, three-dimensional images. |
