Abstract: The technological process for obtaining a ceramic material capable of resisting the use requires, in essence, the domain of
a broader process which is divided into several chains of operations. In this logic the study of experimental archaeology used to
ceramic technology, allows us to understand various stages of the production process and advance into new studies ranging from the
behavior of the material during the use to the analysis of the fragments, and all the associate forms, composition of the paste and
surface finishes with the function of the piece.
This article is based on experimentation in Guarani ceramic from the southern Brazil with real possibilities of application in any
context involving ceramics within what is known as earthwear, as is the case in progress, the Iberian Neolithic ceramics. On this
base, it is built technological parallel by applying a common methodology.
Keywords: Ceramic technology, Experimental Archaeology, Guarani Ceramic, Neolithic Ceramic

Résumé: Le processus technologique d’obtention d’un matériau céramique, capable de résister à l’utilisation exige, par essence, le
domaine d’un processus plus vaste qui est divisé en plusieurs chaînes d’opérations. Dans cette étude, la logique de l'archéologie
expérimentale appliquée à la technologie céramique, nous permet de comprendre les différentes étapes du processus de production
et d’avancer sur des nouvelles études allant du comportement de la matière lors de l’utilisation jusqu’à l’analyse des fragments et,
ainsi, associer formes, composition de pâte et finitions de surface à la fonction de la pièce.
Cette communication est basée sur l’expérimentation en céramique Guarani du sud du Brésil avec un réel potentiel pour une
application sur tous les contextes impliquant la céramique au sein de ce qui est connu comme earthwear, comme c'est le cas en
cours, de la céramique du néolithique ibérique. Sur cette base, nous construisons parallèles technologies grâce à l’application d'une
méthodologie commune.
