Resumen
Descripción
En la actual localidad de Alejandra se construyó a mediados del siglo XX el
Hospital Público, en cuyas obras fue hallada una pipa de cerámica de diseño similar a
ejemplares de origen afroamericano descubiertas en Santa Fe la Vieja. Se encontraba
aislada, sin relación con otros contextos arqueológicos. Como decoración presenta motivos
fitomorfos complejos. En las cercanías fue encontrado un vaso con hoyuelos y triángulos
incisos con pintura blanca, compatibles con diseños estilísticos también de probable origen
africano. Ambos hallazgos constituyen evidencias que permiten pensar en una extensión de
la ocupación africana o afroamericana en la Provincia de Santa Fe. Se comparan con otros
registros cerámicos de procedencia afroamericanos y se intenta una interpretación de los
diseños.
During the construction of the Public Hospital of Alejandra in the mid 20th century, a clay pipewas found. It is similar in design to the onesof Afro-American origin discovered in Santa Fe La Vieja. This pipe was isolated and had no connection with other archaeological contexts. Its design has intricate phytomorphic motifs. A vase with dimples and triangles engraved in white paint, also thought to have African origin, was found in the surroundings. Both discoveries are seen as evidences that support the idea of an African or Afro-American occupation of the Province of Santa Fe. In this research, these objects are compared with other Afro-American clay objects, attempting an interpretation of their designs.
