Investigating the Late Chalcolithic pottery production and consumption at Valencina de la Concepción (Seville, SW-Spain): An archaeometric analysis using petrographic and LA-ICP-MS techniques

•This study revealed that a significant proportion of undecorated Late Chalcolithic ceramics from Valencina de la Concepción (Seville, SW-Spain) were manufactured using non-calcareous coarse clays from non-local sources.•Local ceramic production was also observed to a limited extent.•The study highlights the central role of Valencina de la Concepción (Seville, SW-Spain) in the exchange network of the Lower Guadalquivir Basin during the Late Chalcolithic period.•The research demonstrates the presence of various clay resources throughout the Aljarafe plateau, providing solid reference materials for future archaeometric analysis of ancient ceramics in the region.
