Contextualização e análise tecnofuncional dos conjuntos líticos do holoceno recente no sítio arqueológico Go-CP-46, Doverlândia/GO

Abstract

This monographic work aims to characterize and discuss the technological production of the lithic sets of the archaeological site GO-CP-46, present in Court 6, and distributed from level 6 to 16, collected at PUC Goiás, under the management of the Goiás Institute of Prehistory and Anthropology. The analyzed collection is pre-ceramic and has dating (level 8) of 2,500 ± 60 years A.P. The GO-CP-46 site is located in the southwest region of the state of Goiás, in Doverlândia, and comes from a project developed in the 1980's under environmental licensing (Project UHE Barra do Rio do Peixe), coordinated by Maira Barberi. In this work a lytic collection of 570 pieces was analyzed, having as theoretical and methodological support the technofunctional approach and experimental archaeology. The results identified different debit schemes (production of support chips) and tool making. The collection includes instruments whose supports were modified by façonage, some of them reserving technological similarities with the instruments of Palestina of Goiás. The experimental studies were used in order to understand the traces left in the instruments whose edges were not modified by confeccion of the cutting edges.
