Popis: This article stresses the importance of ethnography in the archaeological investigations of northern Andes of Ecuador. The discussion focuses on the production process of ceramics in two pottery-producing localties in the province of Imbabura. Through the analysis of X-ray Diffraction (XRD) of clays from source áreas as well as contemporary and archaeological ceramics, together with the documentation of production techniques, a discussion of archaeological ceramics from the territory of the Caranqui is presented. In this way, it is shown that there is continuity between archaeological and contemporary ceramics, a mineralogical similarity between clay sources and Imbabura ceramics. There is also a quantity of tools that judging from ethnographic contexts are used in ceramic production but are often ignored in the archaeological record.
