Escolhas de Matérias-Primas Rochosas por Grupos Pré-Históricos Caçadores-Coletores na Microbacia do Rio da Pedra

Abstract

The study of the exploitation of raw materials sources is associated with the understanding of several aspects related to the physical space such as Geological, Geomorphological, Hydrological, and Pedological features. This work aims to understand possible criteria for selecting flaking suitable raw materials used by prehistoric hunter-gatherer groups. Two sites selected for this studies are located in two different geomorphological units in the watershed of Rio da Pedra (Jacinto Machado, southern most region of Santa Catarina, Brazil). This research is part of the project: Arqueologia Entre Rios: do Urussanga ao Mampituba, coordinated by the research group Arqueologia e Gestão Integrada do Território of the Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense-UNESC
