| Abstract | |
The study object of this research is the Capelinha 1 archaeological site, located in the outskirts of Cajati-SP. Both its placement in the landscape and its structural characteristics - particularly its conchiferous composition - suggest, initially, its inclusion among the \"fluvial shellmounds\", very common in the Ribeira de Iguape valley. However, the presence of a lithic industry associated to the Umbu Tradition, inserted in a stratigraphy in which the conchiferous matrix is predominant, contributes to the lack of definition of the cultural nature of the site and, consequently, makes it difficult to relate to the regional archaeological context. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to investigate the formation processes of the Capelinha 1 site, aiming to solve the many questions presented and incorporating it to the archaeological context of the Ribeira de Iguape valley; this has further consequences in the archaeology of southern Brazil. This research is integrated to the thematic project Investigações Arqueológicas e Geofísicas nos Sambaquis Fluviais do Vale do Ribeira de Iguape, Estado de São Paulo. (AU) | |
