Arqueometria nas pesquisas arqueológicas: estudo de caso: Sítio GO-A-02, Serranópolis/GO.

Abstract

site in the Serranópolis municipality in the state of Goiás, where the initial investigations were place between the 1970s and 1980s. It addressed the importance of archeometry in archeological research. As of yet, research on the paintings on display in the GO-Ja-02 site has been limited, particularly with regard to the characterization of the pigments used and the processes of physical, chemical, and biological intemperalism to which they are subject. To gain a basic understanding of the subject, it was necessary to read articles, dissertations, and theses in order to clarify, among other things, the significance of archaeometry for the preservation and conservation of rupestral sites. Over the course of the study, participants took part in fieldwork phases and carried out experimental archaeology-related activities in an effort to better understand the site's pictorial context and the potential use of archaeometry in the preservation, protection, and safeguarding of this patrimony.
