“…The size and the shape of the teeth 1302-190885 and 1302-183765-the smaller cervid from Lagoa dos Porcos-agree with those attributed by Guérin and Faure to M. americana [26]. The authors mentioned the red brocket in several late Pleistocene-early Holocene sites (Toca do sítio do Meio, Toca dos Pilão, Toca da Janela da Barra do Antonião, Toca do Gordo do Garrincho and Toca do Serrote do Artur).…”

“…As far as the specimen 1302-190885 is concerned, the size and morphology of teeth match those shown by the specimen 22-27920-1 (see Table S4 in [26]) collected in the Toca do sítio do Meio, which belongs to a young animal. In particular, the deciduous teeth and the m1 are identical to those of 1302-190885, except for the development of the anterior cingulid of m1 (a minor feature).…”

“…They include several deer remains, and fragments of antlers of a medium-large taxon [1]. Fossil antlers have rarely been found in this region; the specimens from the Lagoa dos Porcos are far from complete, but enough to affirm that they belong to a taxon not yet reported in this area.…”

“…The region of the National Park "Serra da Capivara" (Piauí, Brazil), recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, includes several paleontological localities that have given us thousands of late Pleistocene-early Holocene fossils [1,2] making this area crucial for a better understanding of mammalian evolution and paleoenvironment reconstruction in the Brazilian region called Nordeste. With several thousand fossil bones and various human artefacts, the Lagoa dos Porcos (Figure 1) is one of the richest sites in the country [3].…”

“…Concerning the area of the National Park "Serra da Capivara", three cervid species have been mentioned during the late Pleistocene-early Holocene: B. dichotomus, M. gouazoubira and M. americana [26]. Their fossils have been collected in the karstic area of the Barra Bonita Formation [2], in proximity to the southeastern boundaries of the National Park.…”

Abstract:The analysis of the cervid fossil remains from the late Pleistocene fossiliferous deposit Lagoa dos Porcos (in the region of the National Park "Serra da Capivara", Piauí, Brazil) proves the presence of at least two species: a small deer, belonging to the genus Mazama, and a larger one (Morenelaphus sp.). The latter taxon is recognized for the first time not only in this area, but in the whole Piauí State, enlarging the paleogeographic distribution of the genus. This study also points out the difference between the cervid fauna found in the karstic area of Park and Lagoa dos Porcos, which lies in the alluvial plain.

Lagoa do Quari (São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí): Palaeoenvironment and wetland archaeology in Northeastern Brazil

Northeastern Brazil has thousands of wetland fossiliferous deposits with megafauna and, in some cases, associated lithic artifacts. The timing of the arrival of humans in South America and the extinction of megafauna is still debated and these sites contribute both to this discussion and to the reconstruction of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene paleoenvironment. Lagoa do Quari, 40 km south of São Raimundo Nonato, Piauí state, is a marsh deposit in the present semiarid caatinga environment, excavated by an interdisciplinary team in 2002–2003. This paper presents the archaeological, palaeontological, geological, chronological, stratigraphical and palynological results and their implications for the Quaternary of northeastern Brazil. The site has a rich megafaunal bonebed at the bottom, dominated by Eremotherium giant sloth remains with poor biodiversity, and a sandy‐silty deposit at the top; two 14C dates constrain this latter layer to 9,944–9,557 and 6,308–6,177 cal. years BP and the associated rich lithic industry of quartz and chert shows a technical continuity throughout the Holocene in the region. Palynology describes an open landscape with periodic wet phases, which could explain the richness of the archaeological occurrences in Holocenic Brazilian prehistory. This study offers a model of interdisciplinary enquiry into the paleoenvironment and prehistory of lowland South America.

The Lapa do Santo archaeological site, located in the Lagoa Santa region, Brazil, represents an important hunter‐gatherer occupation dated from the Early and Middle Holocene. Prior studies of archaeofauna dating to this period are few and most of them only provide basic faunal identification with limited information on taphonomic processes. The main goal of this study is to identify the archaeofauna, record the taphonomic processes, and make inferences about its natural (interpreted as the death of the animal in the rockshelter area due to natural causes or due to predation) or anthropic origins. No extinct species (including megamastofauna) were identified. Taxonomic analysis indicated that most faunal remains consist of taxa that may be of mixed origin (natural or anthropic), such as microvertebrates and carnivorous mammals. The Cervidae are the main vertebrate family found in the studied material and these are likely the result of hunting. The Cervidae Ozotoceros support the presence of a fauna that is typical of savannah environments, although the assemblage contains mostly generalist fauna that can thrive in a variety of environments. Very few remains showed clear evidence for taphonomic processes related to human interaction, such as burnt bones.
