Main Article Content
Aquest article examina la substitució d'una producció local de vasos ceràmics per una altra de forana adquirida al mercat. En arqueologia s'associa l'intercanvi i la circulació dels objectes amb la innovació i el canvi cultural. No obstant això, els llocs on es produeixen aquests intercanvis suposen un desafiament al pas del temps. La descripció d'un d'aquests espais de mercat, a l'actual sud-oest etíop, ens permet abordar la complexitat de les interaccions entre compradors mursi i terrissaires aari, dos grups del curs baix del riu Omo. L'estudi incorpora variables de caràcter temporal, espacial i tecnològic, i una metodologia que combina la descripció tipològica amb l'obtenció de testimoniatges orals. Els orígens dels actuals mercats a l'aire lliure a la regió estan vinculats a la conquesta militar de la zona a la darreria del segle XIX per part de l'imperi etíop. Les conseqüències de l'accés al mercat i l'abandó d'una tradició ceràmica es manifesten en múltiples esferes que superen l'àmbit tecnològic. Aquests espais efímers d'interacció d'objectes, productes i persones revelen la seva capacitat a l'hora de crear noves jerarquies i identitats.
