Particularidades dos modos de produção cerâmica de sítios arqueológicos de palestina de Goiás - Go

Abstract

The research presents the results of the analysis of ceramic materials found at the archaeological sites GO-CP-11, GO-CP-21, GO-CP-24 and GO-CP-25, located in the municipality of Palestina de Goiás, southwest of the state of Goiás, in the Central region of Brazil. These sites are located in flattened areas in the Córrego do Ouro basin and were initially excavated in the 1980s, being resumed by subsequent projects from 2009 onwards. The archaeological materials were predominantly found in the first levels (0-10 cm) and on the surface of the sites. The resumption of the study of these collections and their analysis was based on the Anthropology of Techniques, which explores the relationship between people, the environment, objects and techniques. We used the concept of the operative chain of production: use and disposal of ceramic artifacts as a methodological basis for understanding the different operative phases of their production. The spatial proximity between the sites, combined with the time span in which they are found, has enhanced the investigation of artifactual variability between the sites. The techno-morphological characteristics of the ceramic vessels show similarities in the frequent use of certain antiplastics and the morphologies of certain vessels, while there are also cultural differences, demonstrating the cultural diversity present in the area.
