Archaeology of the Holocene in the upper Parana River, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil

摘要

The results from the Porto Primavera Archaeological Project, Mato Grosso do Sul, involving survey and rescue research developed in the upper Parana River, are presented. The analysis discusses the environmental variables related to the implantation of archaeological sites, the material culture and the correlation between archaeology and geochronology: from groups of hunters-gatherers-fishermen (6400 years BP) to the indigenous ceramists (at least 1500 years BP).
