“…). The maximum interval between subsurface probes was 30 m, following a triangular pattern in order to maximize the area coverage (Krakker, Shott, & Welch, , p. 472). Smaller intervals were often sampled, in order to delimit the occurrence of archaeological materials.…”

Lagoa do Camargo 1, a Paleoindian archaeological site located in southeast Brazil dated between 10.5 and 8.3 ka, was studied using a variety of analyses: artifact and charcoal frequencies, soil morphology and micromorphology, magnetic analysis, optically stimulated luminescence, and radiocarbon dating. Our results show that the sandy tropical Oxisol present at the site was accumulated by episodic erosion and accumulation of materials along the slope, by means of diffuse runoff (sheet wash), and that bioturbation, albeit present, played a minor role in the soil formation. From a geoarchaeological point of view, the site poses an important problem, which is the presence of a deeply buried archaeological site almost at the top of a plateau. Our conclusions are relevant for understanding the genesis of sandy Oxisols that cover a large portion of southeast Brazil, where charcoal fragments are abundant, and whose genesis is considered by some authors to be strongly related to pedoturbation.

“…Diversos autores têm-se dedicado a estudar a eficiência das técnicas de investigação para localização de sítios arqueológicos (Chartkoff 1978;Krakker et al 1983;Lightfoot 1986;Kintigh 1988). Os resultados alcançados por eles, assim como a experiência em diversos projetos que utilizaram essas técnicas (Araújo Costa & Caldarelli 1988;Guapindaia 2000Guapindaia , 2001; Machado 2004Machado , 2005Pereira 2001, entre outros), atestam sua eficácia.…”

O projeto de Prospecção arqueológica na área do Projeto Salobo - PA foi desenvolvido entre 2003 e 2006 pelo Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi com a finalidade de identificar e avaliar os impactos da implantação de atividades mineradoras da empresa VALE ao patrimônio arqueológico, além de indicar medidas necessárias para sua preservação ou resgate. O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a metodologia de levantamento arqueológico utilizada para a identificação de vestígios arqueológicos na área da Floresta Nacional Tapirapé – Aquiri (FLONATA), município de Marabá / PA, a qual será afetada pela implantação deste empreendimento. Esta experiência deverá suscitar discussões quanto aos alcances e limites da abordagem apresentada, cujo resultado foi a identificação de 22 sítios e cinco ocorrências arqueológicas.

“…To enhance sampling rigor, the Texas Historical Commission is working on recommendations for survey intervals, dependent on geographic setting. Recent discussions of optimal spacing of shovel tests tend to be regionally focused and relate to evaluating sites once they are located (Krakker et al 1983; Lynch 1980;McManamon 1984;Wobst 1983).…”

Antonio (UTSA) conducted an archaeological survey on a 147-acre tract of land along Leon Creek in northern San Antonio for Pape-Dawson Engineers. The archaeological work was needed for compliance with U. S. Army Corps of Engineers permit requirements before construction of a water storage facility. Four archaeological sites (41BX40, 4IBX47 , 4IBX48, and 4IBX50) had been recorded within this area in 1970 by avocational archaeologists. Additionally, CAR staff members conducted a brief reconnaissance over a 60-acre portion of the property in 1992.
