Abstract in Portuguese
Neste projeto foram determinadas as concentrações elementares de Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe, Hf, K, La, Lu, Na, Nd, Rb, Sc, Sm, Ta, Tb, Th, U, Yb e Zn por meio da análise por ativação com nêutrons instrumental (INAA) em 60 amostras de sedimento do sítio arqueológico Lapa Grande de Taquaraçu, localizado no Estado de Minas Gerais. As amostras foram cedidas pelo Prof. Dr. Astolfo Gomes de Mello Araujo do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da USP (MAE-USP). Este sítio é um abrigo paleoíndio rochoso localizado próximo ao carste de Lagoa Santa, com características que poderiam ser usadas para testar o modelo de abandono do carste durante o Holoceno Médio relacionado ao aumento da seca. Os resultados das concentrações elementares, interpretados por métodos estatísticos multivariados, mostraram a formação de três grupos composicionais distintos e bem definidos. Foi realizado, também, o estudo de seleção de variáveis por meio da análise de Procrustes. Com o propósito de estudar a composição mineralógica, foram selecionadas 8 amostras, as quais foram analisadas por difração de raios X. Os resultados indicaram que há distinção na estrutura cristalina entre as amostras dos três grupos composicionais, sendo quartzo, calcita, dolomita e mica as principais fases cristalinas.

Abstract in English
In this project the elemental concentrations of Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe, Hf, K, La, Lu, Na, Nd, Rb, Sc, Sm, Ta, Tb, Th, U, Yb and Zn were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) in 60 sediment samples from Lapa Grande de Taquaraçu archaeological site, located in MG State. The samples were provided by Dr. Astolfo Gomes de Mello Araujo from the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, University of São Paulo. This site is a palaeoindian rockshelter located near Lagoa Santa karst with characteristics which could be used to test karst abandonment model during the Middle Holocene related to dry conditions. The results of elemental concentrations, interpreted by multivariate statistical analysis, showed the formation of three different compositional and well-defined groups. The variable selection study by means of Procrusts analysis was also carried out. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were also performed in 8 samples to study their mineralogical composition and they showed that there are distinctions in crystalline structure between the samples of the three elemental compositional groups, being quartz, calcite, dolomite and mica the main crystalline phases present in the samples.
