The following dissertation carries out a critical discussion on the practices developed by competent bodies in the three spheres (Municipal, State and Federal) concerning the cultural preservation of the Itacoatiaras Archaelogical site of the Ingá River, which was put under
federal trust in 1944 by the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional – IPHAN (Institution of Historical and Artistic National Heritage). At present, there is no production of knowledge which considers the importance of this site as cultural heritage, therefore allowing the perpetuation of false information which then becomes the “knowledge” that is divulged most when searched for. It is understood that the rupestrian manifestations of this site are being visually presented in conditions which need objective complementation, as much though reference libraries for students of archaeology as through catalogued documentation of the carvings. In order to contribute to the production of scientific knowledge an interdisciplinary relation was searched for, combining knowledge from the areas of Anthropology, Archaeology, Visual Arts, Art History, Education Art, Philosophy, History and Cultural Heritage. Besides the critical discussion concerning concepts, documentation of institutional practices and legislation of the preservation of cultural heritage, a visual registry was developed. This visual registry is comprised of graphic, photographic and video records,
producing objective images of artefacts found on the surface (lithic and ceramic artefacts), images of the carving panels and of the natural surroundings where the archaeological site is located. Besides enabling a more complete knowledge of the shapes carved into the rock, such
a visual registry is intended to be a method of preservation. Among other results mentioned is the data contribution in reference to the site studied, supplementing the filling out of the sheet CNSA PB 00041 of the Cadastro Nacional de Sítios Arqueológicos – CNSA (National Registry of Archaeological Sites) of the Centro Nacional de Arqueologia – CNA (National Centre of Archaeology)/IPHAN/Sistema Nacional de Informação Cultural (National System of Cultural Information)/Ministério da Cultura – MinC (Ministry of Culture).

materials considered not suitable for chipping (BICHO, 2006; FUSCO and such., 2018; PROUS,
1986/90). The identification of prehistoric material in the Cabo Branco Cliff sediment, in João Pessoa,
PB, evidenced the problem of this type of material being interpreted as stones broken by nature. The
potential of this material to understand the occupation of the Brazilian coast is valued, it is argued
theoretically and demonstrates the archaeological importance of the set of 28 objects between whole
and fragmented lithics, bones, coal and sediment samples. An approach with observation and intensive
photographic records, experiments, traceology, macro and microvessel analysis was used, associated
to Annette Laming-Emperaire's proposal (1967) for the study of South American lithic industries, with
adaptations and theoretical support. other authors. 1 bone artifact and 10 lithic artifacts were
identified, on their surfaces there are microfossils (SANTOS, 2004; ARAÍ, 2006; PETRI, SOUZA,
1993) useful for a relative age (RENFREW, BAHN, 2000) of 11,000 years prior to the Present,

Reconhecer artefatos antigos é um problema para parte dos (as) profissionais da arqueologia brasileira, acarretando uma perda incalculável de dados sobre as primeiras movimentações humanas na América do Sul. Ao identificar objetos no aterro de um Sítio Histórico, em Recife-PE, o autor foi incumbido a caracterizá-los arqueologicamente. Os principais objetivos são identificar ações antrópicas, demonstrá-las e sensibilizar os pares para reduzir a perda de dados sobre a antiga presença humana nesse território. A hipótese é que os objetos são artefatos pré-históricos, seus subprodutos e fragmentos, evidenciando ocupações na Costa do Nordeste brasileiro por populações que caçaram e processaram a megafauna e outras fontes proteicas. Foram resgatados objetos líticos com uma pátina intensa, amostras de sedimento, fragmento de casca de ovo e de cerâmica, ossos e pérolas negras. Ambos passiveis de datação por métodos como o C14, U-Th, TL e OLS. O autor identificou três sítios no litoral paraibano com indústrias e estratigrafias similares. Relações poderão ser feitas quanto às 'escolhas' de matérias-primas, da localização a céu aberto e a uma, curiosa, técnica de lascar blocos de 'cerâmica' ou qualquer material sólido resistente. Partiu-se de métodos organolépticos com observação e registro fotográfico intensivos, empregando-se a traceologia com magnificação entre 10 X e 1.000 X, associando à proposta de Annette Laming-Emperaire (1967) para estudo de indústrias líticas da América do Sul, com adaptações e o apoio teórico de outros autores. Através de abordagens viáveis economicamente, em curto prazo e de forma segura foi possível identificar e demonstrar que há fatos antrópicos nos objetos. A partir da compreensão geológica do sedimento que contém os artefatos propõe-se a designação de estrato guia. Os resultados obtidos produziram evidências que poderão corroborar com o reconhecimento de movimentações humanas no Continente durante o Pleistoceno. Busca-se socializar os resultados através de uma 'série de artigos científicos'.
