O presente trabalho, resultado do contato com sociedades da Reserva Indígena Kadiwéu, localizada no Pantanal Sul-mato-grossense, verifica a cerâmica ali produzida pelas índias, no período compreendido entre o final do século XIX e a atualidade. A investigação focaliza o processo de produção, os padrões ornamentais, a forma e a função dos objetos, além dos materiais e técnicas utilizados. A cerâmica Kadiwéu difere, atualmente, das demais produções brasileiras principalmente pela ornamentação, marcada por grafismos e cores muito peculiares. Essa produção sofreu, durante o período ao qual a pesquisa se ateve, transformações significativas no que se refere aos padrões e técnicas ornamentais, possivelmente devido à fixação dos índios próximo a Serra da Bodoquena, que oferece grande variedade de matérias-primas, incorporadas às produções correntes. Foram utilizadas como referência para esta pesquisa duas importantes coleções etnográficas: a de Guido Boggiani, que esteve entre os Kadiwéu em 1892 e 1897 e se encontra, sobretudo, em museus da Itália e a coleção recolhida por Darcy Ribeiro na década de 1940, período em que conviveu com eles. Essas coleções diferem muito da produção atual, conforme verificação feita durante os anos 2000 e 2005. A aproximação aos processos de produção, das formas, cores e padrões, impressos na cerâmica Kadiwéu, possibilitou a compreensão da real dimensão das inúmeras possibilidades de exploração do barro transformado pelo fogo, propondo, então, uma tradução poética dessa observação. São de essencial importância a apresentação desse percurso, a verificação e o registro dos processos de produção atuais, usados pelas mulheres índias para preparar, modelar e submeter o barro à ação mágica e transformadora do fogo. A tradução poética aqui delineada nasceu desse encontro, que provocou reflexões manifestadas por dois conceitos: persistência e tradição oral. / This work, resulting from contact with Reserva Indígena Kadiwéu (Kadiweu Indian Reserve) societies, located in South Mato Grosso state marsh region (Pantanal), focuses on pottery made by female Indians between late XIXth century and today. Besides material and techniques used, the investigation focuses on objects production process, ornamental patterns, form, and function. Nowadays, Kadiweu pottery differs from other Brazilian natives production mainly in ornamentation, marked by distinctive graphisms and colors. During the period researched, this productions patterns and ornamental techniques have significantly changed, possibly due to the settlement of that native group near Bodoquena Range, where they find a variety of raw material, incorporated to their current production. Two important ethnographic collections were used as a reference for this research: that of Guido Boggiani (who visited the Kadiweu Indians in 1892 and 1897), now specially found at Italian museums, and that accumulated by Darcy Ribeiro in the last century 40s, when he lived with them. These collections differ a lot from current production, as verified in 2000 and 2005. Approaching production processes, forms, colors and patterns imprinted in Kadiweu pottery provided comprehension of the actual dimension of the numberless possibilities of fire-transformed clay exploitation, leading then to a poetic translation of this observation. Of essential importance are presenting this trajectory, checking and registering present production processes used by female Kadiweu Indians in preparing, modelling and subjecting clay to the magic and transforming action of fire. The poetic translation here outlined was born from this meeting, which caused reflections manifested through two concepts: persistence and oral tradition.

Também se buscou investigar como procedimentos inerentes ao fazer cerâmico possam ter sido empregados no processo, observando-se singularidades de algumas peças. Durante todo o percurso, procedeu-se ainda ao registro de impressões e inspirações que foram propulsoras de processo criativo do autor. Num diálogo entre pensamento e ação, teoria e prática, palavras e objetos, a pesquisa finalizou-se com a elaboração de um conjunto de objetos e esculturas em cerâmica, os quais expõem, em sua visualidade, percepções desse artista ceramista contemporâneo sobre o que foi investigado. / In this research, I investigated the ceramics of the Tapajos people, in approach that had opted to recognise the setting this production and verify, in structural analysis of its objects, some formal elements. It also sought to investigate how procedures inherent in ceramic making may have been employed in the process, observing singularities of some objects. Throughout the course, impressions and inspirations were also collected and stimulated the creative process of the author. In a dialogue between thought and action, theory and practice, words and objects, the research concluded with the elaboration of a set of objects and ceramic sculptures, which expose, in its visuality, perceptions of this contemporary artist ceramist about what was investigated.

A print copy of this title is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: KNIGHT E98.P8 D43 1992 / The current interpretation of post-Archaic culture history in the northeastern Great Basin is that the Great Salt Lake regional variant of the Fremont culture arose from an Archaic base and is distinguished by two types of unpainted pottery, Great Salt Lake Gray and Promontory Gray. Seen as ethnically unrelated to the Fremont, the subsequent Shoshoni culture is marked by one type of unpainted pottery, Shoshoni Ware. These types are said to be characterized by distinct combinations of attributes, but close examination reveals that what these combinations are, and how they distinguish each type, has not been clearly described in the archeological literature. In this study, I re-analyze fragments of undecorated pottery previously classified as Great Salt Lake Gray, Promontory Gray, and Shoshoni Ware. Through rigorous and replicable methods, five major attributes found in every sherd are examined: wall thickness, exterior surface color, temper material, temper size, and technique of vessel shaping. This analysis showed that previous identifications of pottery attributes were partially or entirely erroneous. Every attribute measured demonstrated the same essential pattern: Great Salt Lake Gray had a wide range of variation, and Promontory Gray and Shoshoni Ware fell within this range. Further, except for one form of temper material, Promontory Gray and Shoshoni Ware shared the same attributes with one another. Ethnographic evidence is also presented that links late prehistoric pottery to that of the historic Shoshoni, confirming a single unbroken pottery tradition in the Great Salt Lake region. I conclude that the evidence of this study does not support the concept of two unrelated pottery traditions (Fremont and Shoshoni) in the Great Salt Lake region. Based on this work, much of the traditionally conceived post-Archaic culture history of this region must be reevaluated.
