In this paper, we develop a genealogy of practice approach for the historical analysis and comparison of Andean ceramic firing. This effort was set in motion by the similarity of two sets of ash mounds observed in the Lake Titicaca Basin of Bolivia, one modern and one from the Late Intermediate Period (A.D. 1100–1450). We eschew an ethnoarchaeological perspective in favor of considering their position within a longer genealogy of potting practice. We argue that a genealogical perspective foregrounds ephemeral evidence that is often ignored in dominant narratives, highlights the emergent nature of practices, and draws attention to subject formation across generations. We examine the extant data for pottery firing in the region, drawing out the genealogy of practices involved in firing facilities and subject formation from the Formative Period (1500 B.C. –A.D. 450) through the present. We then return to the ash mounds, juxtaposing the practices and archaeological traces to consider their historical emergences. These two approaches allow us to begin to map out the particularities of Lake Titicaca Basin production locales and to pose new questions of the social relations associated with ceramic firing contexts.

系谱和并列:的的喀喀湖盆地盆栽群落和射击设施的痕迹
在本文中,我们开发了一种用于安第斯陶瓷烧制历史分析和比较的实践方法谱系。这一努力是由于在玻利维亚的的喀喀湖盆地观察到的两组灰丘的相似性而启动的,一组是现代的,另一组来自中后期(公元 1100-1450 年)。我们避开了民族考古学的观点,转而考虑他们在较长的盆栽实践谱系中的地位。我们认为,谱系观点突出了在主流叙事中经常被忽视的短暂证据,突出了实践的新兴本质,并引起了对跨代主题形成的关注。我们检查了该地区现有的陶器烧制数据,绘制从形成时期(公元前 1500 年至公元 450 年)到现在的射击设施和主体形成实践的谱系。然后我们回到灰丘,将实践和考古痕迹并列起来,以考虑它们的历史出现。这两种方法使我们能够开始绘制的的喀喀湖盆地生产地点的特殊性,并提出与陶瓷烧制环境相关的社会关系的新问题。
