Although San Andrés is thought to have been one of the political, religious, and economic centers of the southeastern Maya during the Late Classic period (ca. A.D. 600–900), both previous studies and our own excavations from 2015 onwards have led to the discovery of a number of ceramic and figurine sherds that have been dated to both the Preclassic and Postclassic periods. Thus, the following preliminary results are presented: 1) Although typological similarities are present in comparison to artifacts from Chalchuapa, the regional center of western El Salvador, the main ceramic assemblage in San Andrés is composed of local types of the Zapotitán Valley, including Mizata, Nohualco, and Huascaha; 2) Just a handful of ceramic types have been collected that have been dated to within the transition between the Terminal Preclassic (or Protoclassic) period and the Early Classic period (ca. A.D. 200–400); this evidence suggests that San Andrés had already declined before the catastrophic Ilopango Volcano eruption. These discoveries have enabled us to establish an extensive chronology for this site and the surrounding region and contribute to our understanding of craft production, exchange, and the intra/interregional interactions of San Andrés from a diachronic perspective., Este estudio fue financiado parcialmente por la Sociedad Japonesa para la Promoción de Ciencia (#26101003) y la Fundación de Daiko (#11029).}, pages = {433--446}, title = {Producción de Alfarería en el Sitio Arqueológico San Andrés, El Salvador}, volume = {1}, year = {2018} }
