The South American Paleolithic: New Results and a General Overview from Brazil

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Geoarchaeology in First Americans Research, Part 1" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Sites dating from the Pleistocene / Holocene transition are becoming more common as archaeological research advances in Brazil. In this communication we will present new data from SE South America and address questions about site formation processes and dating that need to be addressed and incorporated into the reasoning about the peopling of the American continent. We will also discuss how tropical settings pose challenges in interpretation and methods.
