Abstract
Vale da Pedra Furada, located in the Serra da Capivara National Park (Piauí, Brazil), is an open-air site with a long archaeological sequence. It was occupied from the late Pleistocene to middle Holocene. Charcoal samples retrieved during the excavation campaigns were analyzed aiming to reconstruct the use of plant resources by hunter-gatherers who occupied the area and the palaeovegetation around the site c. 24,000–6,000 cal BP. Taxa currently present in the cerrado and caatinga were identified, along with elements from the semi-deciduous forest close to the site. Anthracological results point to sporadic episodes of short-term occupation in this site.
Vale da Pedra Furada位于Serra da Capivara国家公园(Piauí,巴西),是一个具有悠久考古序列的露天遗址。活动时间为晚更新世至全新世中期。研究人员分析了挖掘过程中收集到的木炭样本,旨在重建居住在该地区的狩猎采集者对植物资源的利用,以及该遗址周围的古植被,时间约为24000 - 6000 cal BP。目前在塞拉多和卡廷加发现的分类群,以及来自遗址附近的半落叶森林的元素。人类学结果表明,在这个地点有零星的短期占领事件。
