Summary
Research conducted in the 1980s in the area of the GO-CP-04 litho-ceramic archaeological site identified drawings, engravings and a burial ground. The shelter measurements averaged 40m in length by 4m in width. The radio carbonic dates vary between 4,455+/-115 years B.P and 1,020+/-40 years B.P. With the resumption of investigations, a reassessment of the characteristics of the shelter is presented. It is considered that the site area may be more than 50m long and the slope would be more distant from the dwelling area, in this case, comprising a relatively flat intermediate area, as opposed to the initial hypothesis of a smaller living area. The results obtained so far are important to the proposition of hypotheses related to the reconstruction of the shelter and the development of a methodology to be used in places from the end of the Pleistocene and early Holocene.
