The Ceramic Periods in central Chile are a scenario of major changes in mobility and subsistence systems, associated with the incorporation of cultigens as the basis of subsistence. In this paper, we present a study of the funerary contexts of the Ceramic Periods in central Chile in order to assess whether in this scenario, generally considered very significant in the low-scale societies studied here, gender categories were constructed or signified, and how this changed over time. The results of the analysis suggest that gender categorization was not always important in this scenario. Among Llolleo groups, the offerings associated with females and children suggest their relation with production spheres; in Bato groups, on the other hand, age categories seem to be more important. In the Late Intermediate Period, it is the collective aspect that appears to be stressed in the funerary contexts.

智利中部的陶瓷时期是流动性和生存系统发生重大变化的情景，与将文化作为生存基础的结合有关。在本文中，我们对智利中部陶瓷时期的丧葬背景进行了研究，以评估在这种情况下，在这种情况下，在所研究的低规模社会中通常被认为非常重要，性别类别是否被构建或表示，以及如何这随着时间而改变。分析结果表明，在这种情况下，性别分类并不总是很重要。在 Llolleo 群体中，与女性和儿童相关的供品暗示了他们与生产领域的关系；另一方面，在巴托族群中，年龄类别似乎更为重要。在中后期，
