The meaning of artefactual variability: the ceramic of Asurini of Xingu and the featherwork of Kayapó-Xikrin

Aspects of the variability found in different artefactual ethnographic assemblages: in the Asurini ceramic and Xikrin adornments (featherwork braces). Show as different attributes can better define technological traditions in cultural terms. At the same time, I intend to stand out those that can be indicative of social or personal identities. In other words, I will argue about the relation of the artefactual variability with ethnic and social identities.

Artefactual Variability; Identity; Kayapó-Xikrin; Asurini of Xingu
