Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent years, Paleoamerican sites from central São Paulo state (Brazil) have been associated with a lithic industry known as Rioclarense, but only due the presence of stemmed points and lesmas. Although a few studies on a few sites have been previously presented regarding chronology, formation processes and technology of the lithic points, the complete technological study of the industry was still lacking. This study objective is to present a definition of the Rioclarense Culture. Known (so far) only by its lithic industry, it can be identified by the presence of the Rioclarense-type points and/or lesmas, and/or flakes, preforms and other tools with specific technological features. This article includes a short review on the Rioclarense Culture and ‘Umbu Tradition’ definitions and the first technological description of all classes of lithic materials of two Rioclarense-associated sites dating to the Early and Middle Holocene: Caetetuba and Alice Boer.

里奥克伦塞文化定义、文学技术和爱丽丝·波尔和凯特图巴遗址案例（巴西圣保罗州）

近年来，在巴西中部的圣保罗州(o Paulo state)发现的古美洲遗址与一个被称为Rioclarense的石器工业联系在一起，但这仅仅是因为存在茎尖和棱体。虽然之前已经对一些地点进行了一些关于岩屑点的年代学、形成过程和技术的研究，但对该行业的完整技术研究仍然缺乏。本研究的目的是提出Rioclarense文化的定义。到目前为止，人们只知道它的石制工业，它可以通过rioclarenes型的点和/或lesmas，和/或薄片，预制体和其他具有特定技术特征的工具来识别。本文简要回顾了Rioclarense文化和“Umbu传统”的定义，并首次对两个Rioclarense相关遗址的所有类别的石器材料进行了技术描述，这些遗址可追溯到全新世早期和中期:Caetetuba和Alice Boer。

期刊介绍： PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
