All That Glitters Is Not Plumbate: Diffusion and Imitation of Plumbate Pottery during the Early Postclassic Period (AD 900–1200) at the Malpaís of Zacapu, Michoacán, Mexico

Abstract: In Mesoamerica, the Early Postclassic (AD 900–1200) is characterized by the long-distance circulation of pottery with a very hard and shiny coating with a metallic aspect, known as Plumbate ware. Plumbate is linked stylistically to the Toltec culture but was produced in workshops in Soconusco (Chiapas). The discovery of a similar collection of sherds during recent work at the site of El Palacio (Zacapu, Michoacán) shows that Plumbate ware also reached this region of Western Mexico. We carried out instrumental … Show more

“…The Angulo River, a direct tributary of the Lerma, runs north-to-south from the Lerma to the north-central region of Michoacan. The Zacapu Basin would, therefore, have been strongly integrated into the interregional dynamics related to this riverine route, as suggested by the ceramic data showing similarities between the north-central Michoacan and the central highlands since the end of the Classic period (Jadot et al 2019;Michelet 2013:98-99;Michelet and Pereira 2000;Michelet et al 1989;Pollard 2009:228-229).…”

“…Originated from the Soconusco region in Chiapas (more than 1000 km southeast of Zacapu), the original Plumbate type circulated in central Mexico during the Early Postclassic through the possible relay of Tula (Jadot 2016:334). The analysis of samples from El Palacio, however, indicates that these sherds were mostly the result of local production, and therefore named Plumbate-like (Jadot et al 2019). Only one sherd was part of an imported pot.…”

“…Du rante este período, la zona producía grandes cantidades de sal para la población agrícola del interior. El Formativo Terminal fue seguido por una dramática caída poblacional alrededor del 100 d.C. y 200 d.C. Otro pico demográfico se observó durante el Clásico Terminal, cuando se desarrolló una especialización artesanal en la producción de la cerámica plomiza, tal vez el tipo cerámico más difundi do durante dicho periodo, y uno de los tipos cerámicos de mayor difusión en la historia de Mesoamérica, siendo un fenómeno no sólo local o regional, sino panmesoamericano ya que se ha encontrado desde el occidente de México hasta Costa Rica, entre otros sitios intermedios (Shepard, 1948;Snarskis y Salgado, 1986;Mountjoy, 1991;Healy y Pohl, 1980;Fowler y Earnest, 1985;Kowalski et al, 1993;Jadot et al, 2019).…”

“…Aquellos provenientes de contextos estratigráficos se hallaron en zonas cívico-ceremoniales: la mayoría fueron encontrados en relación con la pirámide Y05, en la superficie de la Parcela 6 sur y en los sondeos UT52 y UT151 (Tabla 6.7). En el sondeo UT52, estaban directamente asociados a las figurillas de estilo Mazapan (supra) y a cerámica característica de la fase Palacio (ver Capítulo Cinco) entre la cual sobresale la cerámica Plomiza (Jadot et al 2019). Sin embargo, hay que subrayar que ningún ejemplar fue hallado en el sondeo UT155, ubicado al otro lado de la misma pirámide (Y05) y que contenía el mismo tipo de material.…”
