The petrographic microscopy analysis of transmitted light, X Ray diffractometry analysis and scanning electronic microscopy and microanalysis techniques were employed in this Study

Optical microtopographic characterization of arqueological ceramics

Optics and optics and photonics based inspection tools and methods had expensively proven their invaluable importance in the preservation of cultural heritage and artwork. The non-invasive inspection of the 3D shape of objects and of the micro-relief structure of its surfaces can be of high importance in the characterization process required in most works of restoration or preservation of archeological artwork. In this communication we will report on a method of optical non-invasive microtopographic characterization of the surface of archeological ceramics. The samples used in this study are pre-historical and pre-colonial ceramics and pottery of tribes in the Paranaiba valley in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The pottery found is decorated with incisions with different geometric distributions and levels of complexity corresponding to two periods of indigenous Indian occupations: one from a period dated at 1,095 ± 186 years ago and another of the early nineteenth century dated between 212 ± 19 years and 190 ± 30 years ago seemingly corresponding to the occupation of the territory by southern Kayapós tribes.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Sítio de Água Limpa, Monte Alto, São Paulo - estruturas de combustão, restos alimentares e padrões de subsistência.

Este trabalho resulta de aplicações de um programa sistemático de escavações no sítio de Água Limpa, município de Monte Alto, SP, no âmbito do Projeto ‘Turvo”. O sítio de Água Limpa é a céu aberto, com nível estratigráfico lito-cerâmico; foi datado por TL em 1524 A.P. e está sendo escavado pelo método de Superfícies Amplas. As pesquisas de campo evidenciaram Manchas Escuras, Fogueiras, uma área de sepultamentos primários fora de umas, sepultamentos secundários e vestígios faunísticos. O ceme deste artigo é a apresentação e relação das estruturas de combustão e restos alimentares com a documentação faunística a qual indicou os padrões de subsistência das populações que ocuparam o sítio. A análise dos “restos alimentares”-vestí- gios faunísticos aponta para um modo de vida voltado para a horticultura, confecção de cerâmica e prática de coleta, caça e, em menor escala, pesca. Essas populações consumiam vertebrados (Pisces, Reptillia, Mammalia) e invertebrados (Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Crustácea). Esses resultados foram comprovados devido à quantidade de fragmentos ósseos associados a dentes, dérmicos e de conchas presentes no sítio. Muitos dos fragmentos apresentam traços que indicam a confecção de artefatos além de marcas de uso. Estes dados elucidam os hábitos alimentares dos povos horticultoresceramistas que ocuparam o sítio.This paper results from the application of a systematic program on the excavations in the site of Água Limpa, Monte Alto, State of São Paulo, a project called “Turvo”. The site of Água Limpa is wide open, with one stratigraphic level - the litho-ceramic, dated by TL in 1524 B.P. It has been excavated by the method of “Wide Surfaces”. Field work showed dark spots, remains of burnt material (coal), one area where primary burials were found out of urns, secondary burials and evidences of fauna. This paper aims to report the structures of combustion and food remains in the site of Água Limpa and relate this presence with the documentations of fauna. Based on this correlation we intend to infer the type of populations which inhabited the place and their pattern of subsistence. The analysis of the food remains associated with the vestiges of fauna showed that the local population had a pattern of living related to horticulture, manufacturing of ceramic, collecting of fruit and small animals, hunting and fishing; the last one less frequently. Results also indicated the presence of a large amount of bones, teeth and both dermic and shell fragments in this site. This population used in their daily life vertebrates (Pisces, Reptillia, Mammalia) and invertebrates (Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Crustacea), not only as food items, but also as ornaments and tools. Many of these fragments present traces indicating the manufacture of artifacts, besides the wear marks. These data elucidate the alimentary habits of the local ceramic-horticulturalist population

Microtopographic characterization of pre-colonial Brazilian archaeological ceramics

Optics and optics and photonics based inspection tools and methods had expensively proven their invaluable importance in the preservation of cultural heritage and artwork. The non-invasive inspection of the 3D shape of objects and of the micro-relief structure of its surfaces can be of high importance in the characterization process required in most works of restoration or preservation of archeological artwork. In this communication we will report on the non-invasive optical microtopographic characterization of the surface of pre-colonial ceramics and pottery of hunter-recollector-farmer’ tribes of the Paranaiba valley in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The pottery found is decorated with incisions with different geometric distributions and levels of complexity corresponding to two periods of indigenous Indian occupations: one from a period dated at 1,095 ± 186 years ago and another of the early nineteenth century dated between 212 ± 19 years and 190 ± 30 years ago seemingly corresponding to the occupation of the territory by southern Kayapós tribes
