This project aims, on the one hand, to continue the research developed by our team since 2010, and, on the other hand, to broaden the scope of the surveys by covering other time bands and a larger geographic area. The general objective of the previous projects was to contribute to the understanding of the processes related to the occupation of Southeast Brazil by the first human groups th…
Dr. Daniela Balanzátegui is a reference in the contemporary debate on Community and African Diaspora Archeology in Latin America,especially in the recovery of the historical memory of women Afroecuadorians from Valle del Chota, Ecuador.There is already a consolidated collaboration between Dr. Balanzátegui and theresearchers of the thematic project to which this proposal is linked, in orga…
This project aims to continue the research developed since 2010 through two grants granted by FAPESP entitled "The Paleoindian Occupation of the State of São Paulo: A Geoarchaeological Approach" (Proc. Nos. 2009 / 54720-9 and 2013 / 13794-5 ). The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the understanding of the processes related to the occupation of the Brazilian Southeast by…

This project aims to describe and analyze a collection of over 2500 artifacts collected on the depletion level of two hydrological powerplants located on the Tietê river, the Barra Bonita and Promissão dams. The objective of the analysis is to study the material under a reliable and replicable method, so that we may observe regional distribution of atributes and variables. The results wil…
Until recently, the production of lithic technology was considered an exclusive capability of the human lineage. Capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) in Serra da Capivara National Park intentionally strike one stone against another to obtain silica powder. During striking, unintentional flakes are produced. Monkeys were not observed using the flakes, but their flakes have technological …
The Tupiguarani Tradition groups have been occupying the landscape of the state of São Paulo for the last 2,500 years AP From the initial studies already existing, it is understood that São Paulo is an essential area to understand the occupation of the territory by traditional groups Tupi Guarani. Currently, there are 274 sites with known geographical coordinates for the region, of which …
The objective of this project is to use the interdisciplinary methodological resources of historical demography to create a database: 1) of women and their descendants who formed multicultural families with the Portuguese in the 16th century; 2) the first three generations of potters; 3) the Portuguese and indigenous names of these women. The sources of this work are the bases published s…

Until recently, the ability to produce lithic technology was considered exclusive to the human lineage. Capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) in Serra da Capivara National Park intentionally strike stones against each other to obtain silica powder. During this percussive behavior, unintentional flakes are produced. Although monkeys have not been observed using the flakes, they exhibit te…
Chronologies are fundamental elements to further understand the dynamics of the exploration of landscapes by humans in past times. Our Project focuses on Tupiguarani ceramist groups from the Late Holocene from Sao Paulo state, with focus on Paranapanema, Ribeira do Iguape and Tietê Valleys. Data from ceramic collections from 34 sites from these three regions were collected prioritizing te…
The perspective of the Archeology of Persistence has been a way to find "unbreakable historical trajectories" of indigenous populations, since 2009. Archeology should participate in the ongoing effort to better understand indigenous history in Brazil, as suggested by John Monteiro and Manuela Carneiro da Cunha at the end of the 20th century. Such effort needs to be continually renewed, as…
The study of microscopic materials is increasingly being incorporated by geoarchaeologists to tackle human-environment interactions at the soil/sedimentary matrix of landscapes and sites. This BEPE project aims at studying depositional and post-depositional human- and non-human-induced processes in three sheltered archaeological sites from south-eastern Brazil, by analysing microscopic co…
