Inferences regarding the relationships of kinship are a central element of the archaeological interpretations on the settlement of the American continent. Traditionally, these studies focused in morphological comparisons of anatomical regions (e.g. crania). The advance of computed tomography brought forward a new approach to anthropological inquiry, termed Virtual Anthropology. Unlike pre…
Shell-mounds are archaeological sites widely studied in Brazilian archaeology, representing the first human occupations of the Brazilian coast. The biological variability of Brazilian shell-mound people has been studied since the end of the 19th century. In the majority of these studies, cranial morphology assumed a major role in the studies of biological variability. However, such parame…
This project tests if Brazilian shell-mound builders display significant intra- and inter-group phenotypic variation throughout the Holocene, to better understand the early dynamics of the peopling of the Brazilian meridional coast, and how relationships amongst coeval populations developed during pre-colonial times. Dental morphological traits will be used as proxies for genetic data, to…
