For American archaeology, ceramic styles have historically played a key role in assigning different regional and temporal cultural traditions. San Francisco is one of the earliest pottery styles in northwestern Argentina (NOA; 2000-1500 BP) and has been considered a chronological marker, as it laid the foundation for the development of other ceramic traditions in the NOA region during the Formative period. It is characterized by polished incised gray pieces, bichrome designs, and zooanthropomorphic or anthropomorphic pipes. Regarding the discovery of San Francisco pottery beyond what is considered its core area-the valley of the same name in the eastern part of Jujuy Province-various interpretations have been proposed over the past three decades. These range from the effective occupation of new territories to the exchange, circulation, or imitation of vessels. Based on the composition of ceramic pastes, this research suggests the existence of specific recipes, allowing for the identification of potential local productions and testing hypotheses about the circulation or non local production of San Francisco pottery. Furthermore, the frequent incorporation of grog (chamote) into the fabric is highlighted, reflecting a cohesive manufacturing tradition that persisted over the centuries
