Discutindo a tradição Aratu: o sítio cerâmico GO-RV-06 e novas contribuições

Abstract

The present dissertation intends to resume the discussions about the Aratu Ceramist Tradition, seeking to advance the understanding of the origin and dispersion models, to contribute to the understanding of the deployment environment of the sites, as well as bring an unprecedented case study by analysing and publishing the data GO-RV-06 site. The project was divided into three distinct periods: the first, where through an intense literature review and crossing data was possible to infer about the role of the possible central and peripheral dispersion zones of tradition. The second aimed to verify the hypothesis of deployment of Aratu sites in ecotone areas and understand the environment in the center and periphery and the third one, where an analysis in the GO-RV-06 site was carried out, discussed in the 70?s during the Programa Arqueológico de Goiás and not published in full until the present moment. The three thematic axes dialogue with each other providing a general framework that should help in understanding this ceramist tradition.
