Resumen
The current paper presents the results of a recent eye-tracking experiment conducted in the Material Minds Lab (INCIPIT-CSIC, Santiago de Compostela) as part of the Material Minds (XSCAPE) ERC Synergy project. This interdisciplinary project integrates neuroscience, cognitive science, archaeology, and anthropology to explore how material forms are shaped by both historical processes and cognitive mechanisms. The current experiment focused on Greco-Roman pottery. The experimental selection considered chronology, context and stylistic and typological requirements. In the acquired data, visual attention patterns were analysed in order to investigate the distribution and sequence of attention across different parts and elements of each object. The results address how typology and chrono-stylistic developments influence attention allocation, revealing possible cognitive frameworks and interpretative models used by viewers. By assessing how formal and stylistic elements are looked at, we will discuss how these artifacts reflect both the rationalities of their beholder, as well as the social and cultural contexts of the societies that created them.
