  • Transforming skeletal data into visual form: A digital facial depiction of “Zuzu”, an early Holocene individual from Brazil

    Open Access•Lumila Paula Menéndez, A Solari et al.•ARTICLE•Anthropologiai Közlemények•2026

    work with and share data, making it possible to create detailed visualizations of people from the past. Among these, facial depiction based on skeletal remains are particularly powerful, but they also come with important challenges. Faces are easily read as “real” and can give a stronger sense of certainty than the underlying evidence actually supports. Objective: This work presents a digital facial depiction of “Zuzu,” an early Holocene individu…

  • Imaging diagnosis of probable osteomyelitis in a 9-month-old infant from prehistoric Brazil: A brief history of healthcare in ancient times

    Open Access•Bianca Di Lorenzo, Dany Coutinho‐nogueira et al.•ARTICLE•Revista Argentina de Antropología…•2025

    Individual 9, a 9 ± 3-month-old infant from the Middle-Holocene (6,650-6,170 years BP) found in Toca do Enoque rock-shelter in Piauí, Brazil, showed significant pathological bone changes and received exceptional mortuary treatment. Previous studies indicated administration of normative parental care and non-normative healthcare, although the differential diagnosis remained vague. This study reexamines the paleopathological diagnosis using X-rays,…

    Open Access•A Solari, Anne Marie Pessis et al.•ARTICLE•Clio Arqueológica•2022

    Durante o acompanhamento arqueológico em 2010 nas obras do projeto de integração do Rio São Francisco com as bacias hidrográficas do Nordeste setentrional pelo Inapas, foi achado um sítio arqueológico de uso funerário com presencia de cerâmicas Tupi-guarani da subtradição policrômica no município de Brejo Santo, no Ceará. Na urna funerária escavada emergencialmente, foram recuperados escassos remanescentes humanos datados com uma idade radiocarbô…

    Este artigo apresenta uma interpretação das práticas funerárias e pós-funerárias do sítio arqueológico Toca do Enoque, situado no Parque Nacional Serra das Confusões (Piauí, Brasil). As escavações arqueológicas possibilitaram a descoberta de três sepultamentos no local. Através de uma releitura dos contextos funerários escavados no sítio, foi possível propor a versão presumida dos processos de formação de cada depósito mortuário por meio de uma a…

  • Older Burial Disturbance: Postfunerary Manipulation of Graves and Corpses in Precontact Northeastern Brazil

    Open Access•A Solari, Sérgio F S M Da Silva et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Antiquity•2022•References: 30

    At times funerary practices do not end with the deposition of the corpses in their final resting place, because occasionally these supposedly definitive burials are disturbed later. When we can confirm that people were mainly responsible for these disturbances, even when other natural taphonomic factors are present, then we have a situation of anthropic postfunerary manipulation of bodies and graves. Some precontact sites in northeastern Brazil h…

  • As Pinturas Rupestres Da Tradição Nordeste Na Região Do Seridó, Rn, No Contexto Da Arte Rupestre Brasileira

    Este artigo é uma reflexão sobre as pinturas rupestres da tradição Nordeste na região arqueológica do Seridó, que precisam ainda de estudos pormenorizados do seu vasto acervo arqueológico. Se pode afirmar que, paralelamente às pinturas do Parque Nacional Serra da Capivara, no estado do Piauí, os conjuntos rupestres do Seridó representam o maior acervo gráfico do nordeste do Brasil. Esta afirmativa não está apenas baseada na quantia dos sítios e d…

  • Fetal Bioarchaeology: A Case-study of a Premature Birth from Burial 2 in Toca do Enoque (Middle Holocene, Northeastern Brazil)

    A Solari, Anne Marie Pessis et al.•ARTICLE•Childhood in the Past•2020

    Generally, due to their small size and fragility, the discovery of fetuses in archaeological contexts is an uncommon event. From a bioarchaeological perspective, when such contexts are found, their study allows us to explore maternal-fetal stress conditions related to pregnancy or birth. It also allows us to assess the sociocultural aspects behind individual identity and group-affiliation based on funerary practices. In this article, after discus…

    In this article we present the results of archaeological research at the Toca do Gongo III site, a rock-shelter with evidence for Nordeste and Agreste Tradition rock art located in the Serra da Capivara National Park (Piauí, Brazil). This park was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1991. The bioarchaeological analysis of 12 human burials excavated at the Toca do Gongo III archaeological site reveals evidence for its use as a place of fun…

    Eric Boëda, Roxane Rocca et al.•ARTICLE•PaleoAmerica•2016

    Sítio do Meio, discovered in the 1990s, showed a sedimentary sequence clearly composed of two sets of deposits separated by a zone of large rockfall from the massive collapse of the shelter's overhang. The bottom set, slightly more than 60 cm thick, was trapped between the bedrock (upon which it rested) and the lower part of the roof fall (reaching more than 1 m in the excavation area), and yielded some charcoal without other archaeological mater…

    The date of the first settlement of the Americas remains a contentious subject. Previous claims for very early occupation at Pedra Furada in Brazil were not universally accepted (see Meltzeret al.1994). New work at the rockshelter of Boqueirão da Pedra Furada and at the nearby open-air site of Vale da Pedra Furada have however produced new evidence for human occupation extending back more than 20 000 years.

    In 1973, sites with rock paintings were discovered in the southeastern part of the State of Piauí. In a very uneven terrain, a group of sandy plateaus overlooks a plain covering approximately 200 km2 following a south‐west / north‐west direction. This is one of the poorest regions of Brazil. It is semi-arid, with a typical vegetal cover called “caatinga”, which is the Indian word for “white forest”. Due to their archaeological importance, these s…
