Title in Portuguese
Da tafonomia funerária às práticas mortuárias: um estudo de caso do sítio arqueológico Caixa d'Água (Buritizeiro - MG)
Keywords in Portuguese
Arqueologia; Práticas funerárias; Holoceno Médio; caçadores-coletores; Brasil Central; Tafonomia Funerária
Abstract in Portuguese
As práticas mortuárias dos grupos humanos que habitaram o Brasil Central, durante o Holoceno médio, ainda são amplamente desconhecidas pela Arqueologia Brasileira, devido à escassez de sítios deste período. O sítio arqueológico Caixa D'água, localizado às margens do Rio São Francisco, no município de Buritizeiro (MG), é uma importante exceção, pois apresenta dezenas de esqueletos putativamente datados do Holoceno médio. No presente trabalho este material foi estudado sob a perspectiva da Tafonomia Funerária. Os esqueletos foram curados e diagnosticados para sexo e idade a partir de marcadores osteológicos. Um banco de dados em formato de matriz binária com as informações registradas em campo e em laboratório dos sepultamentos foi elaborado. As informações foram interpretadas a partir da visão da Tafonomia Funerária. Esses dados foram analisados através de estatísticas multivariadas para a identificação de padrões funerários. Com esses resultados em mãos, foi investigada a correlação entre organização funerária e a cultura material associada aos esqueletos.
Title in English
From funerary taphonomy to mortuary practices: a case study of the archaeological site Caixa d'Água (Buritizeiro - MG)

Abstract in English
The mortuary practices of the human groups that inhabited Central Brazil, during the middle Holocene, are still largely unknown by Brazilian Archeology, due to the scarcity of sites from this period. The Caixa D'água archaeological site, located on the banks of the São Francisco River, in the municipality of Buritizeiro (MG), is an important exception, as it has dozens of skeletons putatively dated to the middle Holocene. In the present work, this material was studied from the perspective of Funerary Taphonomy. Skeletons were diagnosed for sex and age using osteological markers. A database in binary matrix format with the information recorded in the field and in the laboratory of the burials was created. The information was interpreted from the point of view of Funerary Taphonomy. These data were analyzed using multivariate statistics to identify funerary patterns. The correlation between funerary organization and the material culture associated with skeletons was investigated.
