The projectile points known as Fishtail or Fell represent a specific design associated with the earliest hunter-gatherers of Pleistocene-Holocene transition in South America. Brazil was traditionally considered marginal area their distribution because past there were only small number findings known, often inadequately documented. In this paper we present general and unified overview Brazilian record, including previously unpublished metric, technological stylistic features. Also, report on...
Fishtail or Fell projectile points constitute a specific design associated with early hunter-gatherers at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary in many parts of South America, especially along Pacific Coast, Patagonia, and Argentine-Uruguayan Pampas. In this paper, we present new records fishtail points, recovered mainly southern states Brazil, including metric descriptions, as well some technological features, which are similar to other American findings. The pieces curated different academic...
Resumo Descobertas recentes de deposições funerárias no sítio Uruguai 1 contribuem com novos elementos sobre o comportamento mortuário relativos à unidade arqueológica Guarani. Tratam-se cinco sepultamentos que incluem uma deposição em urna e ao menos quatro diretamente solo, sendo a primeira vez se documenta este último tipo para alto vale do rio Uruguai. A ocupação Guarani desse situa da metade século XV até XVIII (510 ± 20 240 30 anos 14C AP). Esse está inserido contexto área Foz Chapecó,...
We analyse the isotopic values (δ13C, δ15N) of diet pre-Columbian horticulturalist populations from tropical and subtropical areas southeastern South America, belonging to Guarani Taquara archaeological units. The data indicate different trends in each one (T = 4.21; P 0.0004), showing a mixed with maize consumption samples (δ13Cco −15.5 ± 1.8‰; δ13Cap −10.4 0.8‰) depleted ones −18.2 1.7‰; −11.9 0.9‰), significant internal dispersion both populations. first population has higher nitrogen...
The archaeological record shows the presence of medium-sized dogs with mesocephalic skulls in Southeast South America, from at least end third millennium BP to historical times, along 700 km southern Brazil wetlands Paraná River Argentina. These dogs, associated complex hunter-gatherers, do not appear have been product exchange Andean societies as previous theories suggested, but rather a local breeding process, probably reflecting offspring founder population introduced area before BP....
Durante a pré-história, debitagem laminar é um modo de produção característico determinados períodos e regiões. No Brasil, no momento, foi reconhecida em três sítios arqueológicos situados alto vale do rio Uruguai (SC/RS), contextos sedimentares que datam Holoceno inicial. Até hoje, somente os produtos dessa debitagem, as lâminas, tinham sido encontrados. A falta dos núcleos impedia entendimento completo processo lascamento desses suportes. Graças à retomada das pesquisas na região desde...
O alto rio Uruguai é uma área importante para compreender o povoamento pré-histórico da bacia do Prata. Nela foram localizados sítios de caçadores-coletores, referentes ao passado mais antigo região, e grupos ceramistas relacionados às unidades arqueológicas Tupiguarani Taquara-Itararé. Este artigo apresenta os primeiros resultados das pesquisas realizadas no sítio ACH-LP-07 situado próximo à foz Chapecó na margem direita Uruguai, oeste Santa Catarina. mesmo apresentou várias ocupações por...
This study analyses the lithic landscape and selection of rocks used to manufacture Fishtail points (FP) in southern Brazil, their designs, some functional aspects. In order identify offer resources, we carried out several surveys throughout 15 months 47 counties Southern Brazil covered by Botucatú - Serra Geral Vulcano Sedimentary Complex. The composition numerous hill slopes, fallen rocks, accumulations pebbles boulders riversides was evaluated. results show that basalts (including a small...
This study explores the reworking of projectile point stems by hunter-gatherers in southeastern South America. Techniques employed to rework included pressure and percussion flaking and, eventually, light abrasion fractured sections, methods that were applied opportunistically resolve various types stem fractures. Although local literature has often overlooked presence reworked stems, it appears rebasing was a relatively common practice region, especially for points made from...
Abstract In this study, we analyze the diet of forager–horticulturalist societies southeast South America through different isotopic markers (δ 13 C collagen , δ apatite and 15 N). The economy these populations was based on hunting, fishing, gathering, and, to a greater or lesser extent, horticulture, showing emphasis each one options. samples analyzed here were recovered from environments, including Atlantic coast, highlands Brazilian plateau, lowland forests upper valleys Uruguay Paraná...
In this paper, we present a brief synthesis of the record Fell or Fishtail points found in northeast Argentina, including first two records for Misiones province. To date, 11 pieces have been identified region, which demonstrate techno-morphological similarities with specimens recovered different areas South America, are linked to Paleoamerican groups Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. Although these still scarce area, is probably due lack research and issues related archaeological visibility....
Resumo Este trabalho apresenta os resultados da escavação de uma deposição funerária relacionada à unidade arqueológica Guarani, encontrada no setor 2 do sítio multicomponencial ACH-LP-07, na margem direita rio Uruguai, município Águas Chapecó, Santa Catarina. São apresentados procedimentos empregados em campo e laboratório para análise tipológica um recipiente cerâmico utilizado como urna funerária, bem é feita das características dessa dos remanescentes ósseos humanos a sua inclusão...
Abstract We analyse the hunting patterns based on faunal records of horticultural groups from Atlantic Forest grouped in Guarani archaeological unit, which are material and behavioural expression populations Amazon origin who practiced slash‐and‐burn agriculture Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay. The analysed temporal block ranges ca. 1373 to 1698 Common Era. characteristics assemblages high level taxa richness equitability, where no predominate over others. capture decision was probably...
ABSTRACTThe research advances in Fell points show significant morpho-technological and dimensional variations. We provide additional data on unreported specimens coming from three countries located southeastern South America. Dealing with the repairing of stems, we discuss a topic barely addressed this iconic PaleoAmerican artifact. These issues give us greater depth understanding life histories early lithic assemblages employed by hunter-gatherers living during last millennium Pleistocene...
Spinosauridae family (Dinosauria: Theropoda): taxonomy, paleobiogeography and paleoecology (a revision). is a of Tetanuran theropod dinosaurs that was widely distributed during the Early Cretaceous. Here we revised state art family’s paleoecology. We compiled updated diagnosis for holotypes 20 species attributed to since 1841, alongside with different hypotheses related also series indeterminate elements are relevant in literature. conclude out these taxa six can be regarded as nomina dubia...
As coberturas superficiais constituem importante registro sedimentar que contém dados potenciais como indicadores das condições ambientais atuais e pretéritas. Com o objetivo de analisar os graus intemperismo formações pedogenizadas estabelecer relações entre fatores pedológicos geomorfológicos na gênese transformação da paisagem natural, neste trabalho foram investigados indícios físicos geoquímicos 22 mantos (coberturas pedogenizadas) Volta Grande, trecho do alto vale rio Uruguai divisa...
O oeste de Santa Catarina (Brasil) e a província Misiones (Argentina) compartilham um registro arqueológico muito semelhante, resultado sociedades pré-coloniais que tiveram trajetórias evolutivas similares. Com este trabalho, apresentamos o projeto pesquisa binacional destinado compreender estrutura do regional dessa área, mencionando sucintamente as primeiras atividades campo desenvolvidas.
The expansion of llama caravans and the dispersal domesticated camelids to extra-Andean regions is one key topics in South American archaeology, as it reflects degree connection between Andean societies surrounding lowland societies, well extent pre-Columbian pastoralism. One primary indicators both processes presence archaeological record, particularly (Lama glama). Based on somewhat ambiguous historical evidence, has been suggested that caravanning may have reached northern Pampean region...
