Variabilidade tecnológica e distribuição dos fragmentos cerâmicos do sítio GO-JA-02, Serranópolis (GO)

Abstract

The theme of this final course project addresses the distribution of archaeological material in the excavation area, technological, morphological, and archaeometry analyses related to the application of X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometry to ceramic materials collected at the GO-Ja-02 site, located in the municipality of Serranópolis, in the southwestern region of the state of Goiás. Based on these attributes, the objective was to identify and better characterize the ceramic traditions and any ethnographic groups that may have occupied the GO-Ja-02 site, considering that studies of ceramic material culture in the region are over 40 years old, and resumed in 2019. The research identified strong evidence of more than one ethnographic occupation, related to differences in the distribution and concentration of material by depth and spatiality, in firing, in the composition of the paste, in the plastic decorations, and in the surface treatment of the ceramic fragments. Furthermore, inferences can be made regarding the sources of raw material upstream of the GO-Ja-02 site.
