Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The archaeological region of Serranópolis in Southestern Goias/Brazil stands out for its cultural material in rock shelter sites occupied by groups of hunter-gatheres and agricultural ceramists from 10,400 B.P to 915 B.P. The purpose of this paper is to verify the low frequency and visibility of open air sites, applying variables such as landscape, geology, geomorphology, soils and vegetation to establish a number of hypotheses. These open air lithic sites are associated with rock slab outcrops of silicified sandstone or quartzite as in the case of the Cahoeira 3 archaeological site.
