“…The funerary practices of the well-preserved burials at Galheta IV exhibit a deposit of the body and funerary accompaniments that are similar to what has been seen in other sambaquis [106,[151][152][153][154]. However, there are some differences that stand out: such as the more intense use of fire as a marker for the bodies compared to what is seen in other shellmounds; and the way in which fauna is deposited in this funerary context, accumulated away from the human remains, and the selection of specific animal species near the burials.…”

Brazilian coastal archaeology is renowned for its numerous and large shellmounds (sambaquis), which had been continuously occupied from at least 8000 to 1000 years cal BP. However, changes in their structure and material culture in the late Holocene have led to different hypotheses concerning their ecological and cultural changes. The archaeological site Galheta IV (ca. 1300 to 500 years cal BP) offers new insights into the complexity of the late coastal occupation in southern Brazil. Our attempt was to determine whether Galheta IV can be classified as a sambaqui site, or if it belongs to a Southern proto-Jê settlement. Here, we reassessed Galheta’s collections and applied a multi-proxy approach using: new 14C dates, zooarchaeology, δ13C and δ15N isotopes in bulk collagen and 87Sr/86Srenamel isotopic ratios from eight human individuals, ceramics analysis, and FTIR. The results indicate an intense exploitation of marine resources, with an area designated for processing animals located at the opposite side of the funerary areas. Bone tools and specific species of animals were found as burial accompaniments. No evidence of human cremations was detected. 87Sr/86Sr results indicate that the eight human individuals always lived on the coast, and did not come from the inland. The pottery analysis confirms the association with Itararé-Taquara, but contrary to what was assumed by previous studies, the pottery seems related to other coastal sites, and not to the highlands. In light of these findings, we propose that Galheta IV can be considered a funerary mound resulting from long and continuous interactions between shellmound and Southern proto-Jê populations. This study not only enhances our understanding of the late coastal occupation dynamics in southern Brazil but also underscores its importance in reshaping current interpretations of shellmound cultural changes over time.

“…Dentro da perspectiva da distribuição espacial os estudos de mounds, de sambaquis e de espaços funerários deram uma contribuição significativa para a percepção da paisagem (Leite, 2015;Robinson et al, 2017;Saladino, 2017).…”

Este trabalho introduz uma discussão sobre a individualidade nas práticas funerárias pré-históricas. Nos últimos anos o conceito de indivíduo ganhou espaço nas ciências sociais e humanas e os trabalhos realizados até hoje focam, especialmente, nas características coletivas das práticas funerárias e na busca das semelhanças. Portanto, com a finalidade de identificar traços da individualidade nas práticas funerárias pré-históricas foram utilizadas como exemplo as informações publicadas sobre o sítio arqueológico Furna do Estrago. Como resultado verifica-se, preliminarmente, que é possível inferir traços de representação individual em relação aos acompanhamentos e a idade.
