“…The climate of the region is tropical with mean annual precipitation of 1,286 mm and average temperature of 21.4 °C, including a period of dry weather from May to August . The vegetation is composed of open and closed fields, being a mosaic of cerrado (Brazilian savanna) and semi‐decidual and dry forests . Lagoa Santa's elevation ranges between 650 and 900 m above sea level, and the region shows a marked karstic topography (Figure ).…”

The region of Lagoa Santa, Central-Eastern Brazil, provides an exceptional archeological record about Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene occupation of the Americas. Since the first interventions made by the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the 19th century, hundreds of human skeletons have been exhumed in the region. These skeletons are complemented by a rich botanic, faunal, technological, and geomorphological archeological record. We explore here the contributions of Lagoa Santa material to the origins and lifestyle of early Americans, providing an historic background. Cranial morphology of Lagoa Santa skeletons allowed the proposition of a model of two biological components for the occupation of the Americas, in which early Americans are morphologically similar to people of African and Australo-Melanesian origin. Furthermore, the archeological record in the region has revealed an intense use of plant resources, a restricted spatial distribution, and the symbolic elaboration of local hunter-gatherers, unveiling a distinct lifestyle compared to early North American populations.

“…o clima estaria mais seco que o atual em Lagoa Santa (Parizzi et al;Ledru et al;Behling, 2003;Meyer et al;. Neste período haveria um clima sazonal e seria estabelecida uma vegetação de Cerrado, Mata Ciliar e Mata Seca Semidecidual e Decidual na região, que teriam permanecido similar e sem alterações significantes (Ledru et al;Freire, 2011).…”

The site of Lapa Grande de Taquaraçu is a limestone shelter located in Minas Gerais, south-central Brazil. The site's chronology ranges from 11,360 ± 110 cal BP to 1,100 ±80 cal BP, with an occupation hiatus from 9,000 ± 70 to 1.100 ± cal BP. In order to define the use of natural resources on this site, sediment from unwashed stone artifacts was analyzed for the presence of blood and starch granules, coupled with this, charred macroremains from the sieve were studied. Starch granules were separated from the sediment by density difference and analyzed under a polarized light microscope. For the detection of hemoglobin, a test was performed using urine test strips. Starch granules of various types were found in all stone artifacts. Three artifacts dimmed positive for the presence of hemoglobin. Among the macroremains, various types of seeds were distinguished, being a species of a small coconut dominant in the registry. There was no significant difference in fuel use at the site's different occupation times. The results seem consistent with previous researches regarding the consumption of starchy foods by the ancient inhabitants of Lagoa Santa. Were also consistent with the regional lithic industry investigations, where artifacts are not created with an specific use in mind.
