Abstract
Para el noroeste de Costa Rica el final del Período Bagaces ha sido percibido como un
momento de cambio cultural, ocasionado por alteraciones demográficas producidas por
migraciones mesoamericanas a las tierras de la Gran Nicoya. A partir del análisis de
la producción y la tecnología alfarera, por medio del conocimiento en la manufactura
cerámica y la técnica de difracción de rayos X, se propone que si bien hubo cambios
que apuntan a un proceso de especialización alfarera, también se hallan indicadores que
sugieren una continuidad en la tecnología. Esto permite inferir que con la entrada de los
grupos mesoamericanos a la zona del Rincón de la Vieja (Guanacaste, Costa Rica) no
hubo un cambio radical de la tradición alfarera sino, más bien, un proceso de intercam-
bio de conocimientos. En esta dinámica, los elementos preservados a través del tiempo
responden a necesidades técnicas y aquellas modificaciones en la tecnología cerámica
fueron, a su vez, respuestas a necesidades sociales.
For the northwest of Costa Rica, the end of the Bagaces Period has been perceived as a time of cultural change caused by demographic alterations produced by Mesoamerican migrations to the lands of Greater Nicoya. From the analysis of production and pottery technology, through knowledge in ceramic manufacturing and the X-ray diffraction technique, it was obtained that, although there were changes that suggest a process of specialization, there are also indicators which suggest a continuity in its technology. This allows us to infer that with the entry of Mesoamerican groups to the Rincón de la Vieja area (Guanacaste, Costa Rica) there was not a radical change in the pottery tradition, but rather a process of exchange of knowledge. In this dynamic, the elements preserved through time respond to technical necessities and the ones modified were a response to social needs.
