Almost 300 Paleoindian human skeletons have been found since Danish naturalist Peter Lund\u0026amp;#39;s pioneering work. Even so, some critical issues such as the role of rockshelters in settlement systems, and the possible paleoclimatic implications of the peopling of the region have yet to be addressed. We present some results obtained from recent excavations at four rockshelters and two open-air sites, new dates for human Paleoindian skeletons, and a model to explain the cultural patterns observed so far. It is also argued that the Paleoindian subsistence system at Lagoa Santa was similar to other locations in South America: generalized small-game hunting complemented by fruits, seed, and root gathering.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Renato Kipnis"},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Astolfo

In spite of this 3600 year gap, the stratigraphy and general characteristics of the material culture did not indicate any visible discontinuity. This led us to hypothesise a reoccupation of the rockshelter by the same cultural group, tested by means of statistical analyses comparing lithics, bone artifacts, and faunal remains from early and middle Holocene layers. No significant differences were found, and our results indicate the presence of a cultural tradition that persisted for 8240 years, or roughly 412 generations.</p><div

in the very latest Pleistocene, as marked in North America by the Clovis archaeological horizon at about 11,200 years ago, and by a variety of contemporaneous South American industries. Yet there are several sites that may prove to be older, among them Pedra Furada, in the thorn forest of northeastern Brazil, a large and remarkable rock-shelter, whose Pleistocene deposits have been interpreted as containing clear evidence of human occupation. This paper offers a considered view of Pedra Furada from three archaeologists with a wide range of experiences in sites of all ages in the Americas and elsewhere, but who also share a special interest and expertise in the issues Pedra Furada has raised: Meltzer from long study of the peopling of the Americas and the frame of thinking within which we address that issue (Meltzer 1993a; 1993b); Adovasio from his intensive excavat...</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"On a Pleistocene human occupation at Pedra Furada, Brazil","attachmentId":79439544,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/69285231/On_a_Pleistocene_human_occupation_at_Pedra_Furada_Brazil","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/69285231/On_a_Pleistocene_human_occupation_at_Pedra_Furada_Brazil"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="5" data-entity-id="31016164" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/31016164/Paleoindian_Lithic_Industries_of_Southern_Brazil_A_Technological_Study_of_the_Laranjito_Archaeological_Site_Pleistocene_Holocene_Transition">Paleoindian Lithic Industries of Southern Brazil: A Technological Study of the Laranjito Archaeological Site, Pleistocene-Holocene Transition</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="580037" href="https://furg.academia.edu/JCMorenodeSousa">João Carlos Moreno de Sousa</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2017</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">During the second half of the twentieth century, Brazilian archaeologists organized the Paleoindian sites of southeastern and southern Brazil into an archaeological cultural unit known as the Umbu Tradition. Umbu sites were characterized by the large presence of bifacial points in the lithic industries. However, few studies have been accomplished to determine whether there is technological patterning among the Umbu-related lithic assemblages, especially patterns in flakes and other tools. This article presents new data about the Umbu-related lithic industry from the Laranjito archaeological site. Laranjito is located along the Uruguay River margin, and it has been dated to the Pleistocene-Holocene transition (12,915 ± 116 to 11,904 ± 308 cal yr BP).</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Paleoindian Lithic Industries of Southern Brazil: A Technological Study of the Laranjito Archaeological Site, Pleistocene-Holocene Transition","attachmentId":51905518,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/31016164/Paleoindian_Lithic_Industries_of_Southern_Brazil_A_Technological_Study_of_the_Laranjito_Archaeological_Site_Pleistocene_Holocene_Transition","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/31016164/Paleoindian_Lithic_Industries_of_Southern_Brazil_A_Technological_Study_of_the_Laranjito_Archaeological_Site_Pleistocene_Holocene_Transition"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="6" data-entity-id="11548691" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/11548691/The_Late_Pleistocene_Early_Holocene_archaeological_record_in_Brazil_A_geo_referenced_database">The Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene archaeological record in Brazil: A geo-referenced database</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="28195733" href="https://ufrgs.academia.edu/Crist%C3%B3balGnecco">Cristóbal Gnecco</a></div><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene archaeological record in Brazil: A geo-referenced database","attachmentId":37046447,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/11548691/The_Late_Pleistocene_Early_Holocene_archaeological_record_in_Brazil_A_geo_referenced_database","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/11548691/The_Late_Pleistocene_Early_Holocene_archaeological_record_in_Brazil_A_geo_referenced_database"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="402695" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/402695/Paleoamerican_Diet_Migration_and_Morphology_in_Brazil_Archaeological_Complexity_of_the_Earliest_Americans">Paleoamerican Diet, Migration and Morphology in Brazil: Archaeological Complexity of the Earliest Americans</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="1525852" href="https://usp-br.academia.edu/Eggers">Sabine Eggers</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">PloS one, 2011</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">During the early Holocene two main paleoamerican cultures thrived in Brazil: the Tradição Nordeste in the semi-desertic Sertão and the Tradição Itaparica in the high plains of the Planalto Central. Here we report on paleodietary singals of a Paleoamerican found in a third Brazilian ecological setting – a riverine shellmound, or sambaqui, located in the Atlantic forest. Most sambaquis are found along the coast. The peoples associated with them subsisted on marine resources. We are reporting a different situation from the oldest recorded riverine sambaqui, called Capelinha. Capelinha is a relatively small sambaqui established along a river 60 km from the Atlantic Ocean coast. It contained the well-preserved remains of a Paleoamerican known as Luzio dated to 9,9456235 years ago; the oldest sambaqui dweller so far. Luzio’s bones were remarkably well preserved and allowed for stable isotopic analysis of diet. Although artifacts found at this riverine site show connections with the Atlantic coast, we show that he represents a population that was dependent on inland resources as opposed to marine coastal resources. After comparing Luzio’s paleodietary data with that of other extant and prehistoric groups, we discuss where his group could have come from, if terrestrial diet persisted in riverine sambaquis and how Luzio fits within the discussion of the replacement of paleamerican by amerindian morphology. This study adds to the evidence that shows a greater complexity in the prehistory of the colonization of and the adaptations to the New World.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Paleoamerican Diet, Migration and Morphology in Brazil: Archaeological Complexity of the Earliest Americans","attachmentId":18201767,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/402695/Paleoamerican_Diet_Migration_and_Morphology_in_Brazil_Archaeological_Complexity_of_the_Earliest_Americans","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/402695/Paleoamerican_Diet_Migration_and_Morphology_in_Brazil_Archaeological_Complexity_of_the_Earliest_Americans"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="31378068" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/31378068/First_notice_of_a_Paleoindian_site_in_central_S%C3%A3o_Paulo_State_Brazil_Bastos_site_Dourado_County">First notice of a Paleoindian site in central São Paulo State, Brazil: Bastos site, Dourado County</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="818360" href="https://usp-br1.academia.edu/Let%C3%ADciaCorrea">Letícia Correa</a><span>, </span><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="197223" href="https://usp-br.academia.edu/AstolfoAraujo">Astolfo Araujo</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Bastos site, located in central São Paulo State, provided ages between 7,600 and 12,600 cal BP. The lithic industry is composed by flakes on silicified sandstone, with rare unifacial retouch, without formal artifacts. The site probably represents a habitation area in a river terrace, later covered by a colluvial fan. Refitting pieces attest the overall integrity of the spatial positioning of the archaeological materials. The site is the oldest found in São Paulo, and is contemporaneous to sites from Lagoa Santa and Pains regions, in Minas Gerais State. However, the lithic industry is unrelated to the ones found in these areas, suggesting the existence of a different Paleoindian group. Resumo: O Sítio Bastos, localizado na região central do Estado de São Paulo, obteve datas entre 7.600 e 12.600 cal AP. A indústria lítica é composta de lascas em arenito silicificado com pouco retoque unifacial e ausente de artefatos formais. O sítio provavelmente representa uma área de habitação próxima a um terraço de rio, posteriormente recoberto por um evento de colúvio. A remontagem de peças atesta a integridade do posicionamento espacial do material arqueológico. Este é o sítio mais antigo encontrado em São Paulo, é contemporâneo aos sítios de Lagoa Santa e Pains no estado de Minas Gerais. No entanto, a indústria lítica não se relaciona com as encontradas nessas áreas, sugerindo a existência de um grupo distinto de Paleoíndios.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"First notice of a Paleoindian site in central São Paulo State, Brazil: Bastos site, Dourado County","attachmentId":51754491,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/31378068/First_notice_of_a_Paleoindian_site_in_central_S%C3%A3o_Paulo_State_Brazil_Bastos_site_Dourado_County","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/31378068/First_notice_of_a_Paleoindian_site_in_central_S%C3%A3o_Paulo_State_Brazil_Bastos_site_Dourado_County"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="71220370" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/71220370/Early_human_Earth_interactions_and_the_initial_peopling_of_the_lowlands_of_southeastern_South_America_S%C3%A3o_Paulo_Brazil_">Early human-Earth interactions and the initial peopling of the lowlands of southeastern South America (São Paulo, Brazil)</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="580037" href="https://furg.academia.edu/JCMorenodeSousa">João Carlos Moreno de Sousa</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Revista Brasileira de Geografia Física</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Early human-Earth interactions and the initial peopling of the lowlands of southeastern South America (São Paulo, Brazil)","attachmentId":80660335,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/71220370/Early_human_Earth_interactions_and_the_initial_peopling_of_the_lowlands_of_southeastern_South_America_S%C3%A3o_Paulo_Brazil_","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/71220370/Early_human_Earth_interactions_and_the_initial_peopling_of_the_lowlands_of_southeastern_South_America_S%C3%A3o_Paulo_Brazil_"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":32391032,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":32391032,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_32391032" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
