O desconhecimento sobre a existência e valor dos sítios arqueológicos pode se tornar um dos principais fatores de sua degradação. Assim sendo, este trabalho teve como intuito identificar e espacializar os sítios arqueológicos pré-históricos situados na área do Projeto Geoparque Cariri Paraibano, que abrange os municípios de Boa Vista, Boqueirão, Cabaceiras e São João do Cariri, na região dos Cariris Velhos da Paraíba. Com base em pesquisas bibliográficas e de campo, foram identificados 55 sítios na área de estudo, sendo que 11 ainda não haviam sido citados em trabalhos científicos. No mapa elaborado foi possível espacializar 36 sítios pois os demais não apresentavam detalhes na bibliografia e nem foram possíveis de acessar em campo. Verificou-se discrepâncias de toponímia e descrição dos sítios em bibliografia, bem como a possibilidade de existência de mais sítios ainda não identificados na área.

We analyzed the existing information about the populations that inhabited the interior in the Prehistoric period in the area known today as the state of Paraíba, especially the data concerning the funeral context. The results obtained in the archaeological studies carried out at the Barra (Camalaú), Serrote da Macambira (São João do Cariri), Pinturas I (São João do Tigre) and Furna dos Ossos (São João do Cariri) sites were used, one of the main difficulties is to study a buried site that has a preserved deposition context, making it impossible to obtain reliable inferences about funeral practices in most cases.

Both well propagated throughout the Northeastern territory. Within these two traditions are the pure graphics, which resemble "geometric" forms, which cannot be identified. These geometric shapes were perceived in prehistoric archaeological sites (Pedra Rica, Cachoeira Grande and Várzea do Palha) in the city of Canapi-AL. In this sense, the objective of the article is to characterize these cave painting sites, signal their state of conservation, correlate them with the archaeological sites of Inhapi (Roçado, Canoa, Curral Novo and Pedra da Letra do Rei) and Delmiro Gouveia ( Delmiro Gouveia 17, Delmiro Gouveia 10 and Lajedo do Forró) and present, through a table, their graphic profile. For this purpose, a georeferencing, photographic record, filling out a form with data about the sites and analysis of the graphic profile were carried out. As a result, we identified that the rock records were in an accelerated process of degradation, both by nature and by anthropic actions, compared to the sites of the cities (Delmiro Gouveia and Inhapi) listed for this research.

We estimate and analyze the property-size, zootechnical, and economic indices of 20 milk production systems located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2011. We also conduct a descriptive analysis of the variables studied, as well as a multiple linear regression analysis among the estimated indices (independent variables) and the net margin, profitability, and return (dependent variables). The statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0. The items that most influenced net margin were milk production by labor, total revenue, energy and protein commercial concentrates, and the ratio of labor costs to total operating costs.

No que se refere aos sítios de contextos funerários nesse estado, percebe-se que há uma escassez, sendo identificados até o momento três sítios: Baixa das Flores em Limoeiro de Anadia; Alazão, em Arapiraca; e o sítio São José II, na cidade de Delmiro Gouveia. Exatamente em virtude dessa baixa recorrência de sítios funerários, os que foram estudados apresentam uma elevada importância no que se refere ao conhecimento das práticas funerárias compartilhadas pelos grupos que habitaram em tempos pretéritos este território. Assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar o estado da arte de sítios arqueológicos de contexto funerário identificados no estado de Alagoas, buscando perceber quais as metodologias utilizadas durante as atividades de campo e análises de laboratório, no âmbito dos aspectos bioculturais, pontuando os resultados obtidos, e se esses são distintos a depender da metodologia utilizada.
Abstract: The state of Alagoas, located in northeast region of the Brazil have a rich archaeological collection, especially the rupestrian record sites in sertaneja region. Regarding the funeral sitios they are scarce, because only three sitios was discovered: Baixa das Flores at Limoeiro de Anadia; Alazão at Arapiraca and Sítio São Jose II in Delmiro Gouveia city. Because of these few funeral sitios discovered, the already found are very important around your death practices, shared to peoples that lived at the past time. Thus, this work has as objective show the art state about funerary archaeological sites found in Alagoas state, trying meet which the methodologies used at field activities and laboratory analysis, around the biocultural aspects, after highlight the results, e if these are different when different methodologies are used.

A técnica mais comum foi o trançado torcido aberto, observada em treze das amostras analisadas. A técnica cruzada aparece residualmente numa amostra em que a visualização é relativamente ambígua. Aparentemente a técnica torcida predominou pelo Nordeste brasileiro, haja vista sua recorrência em conjuntos provenientes de outros sítios da região. Não obstante o caráter vestigial do registro arqueológico, criticamente acentuado no caso de achados orgânicos, é importante ressaltar uma aparente descontinuidade, na medida que exemplares observados em museus, confeccionados por grupos indígenas da região, são construídos primordialmente com a técnica cruzada.

The objective of this work is to analyze the graphic motifs, making a description of them, with the purpose of finding a pattern through the observation of recurrences of these elements. Through the analysis of the graphic motifs of this site it was possible to bring some interpretations around them, it is considered that these graphics are totally linked to social activities developed by the group that produced them. Six types of graphic motifs were perceptible in this research, and in three of them recurrences were found.

In the specific case of the archaeological tradition Aratu, little is known about their population biology, partly due to the fact that the skeletal remains are not always present in the excavated burial urns or when they are, the preservation conditions hinder studies of this nature. If the site of Baixa das Flores, despite having a small osteological sample, it is relevant because providing a first biological observation of human populations inserted in the vast archaeological tradition Aratu in northeastern Brazil.

The site is a cave, where on it’s surface there where human bones that, due to anthropic actions an bioturbation, were descontextualized and degrading rapidly. From an academic excavation project, the bones were collected and taken to the laboratory of archaeology the State University of Paraíba where they were analyzed. For this analysis, it was searched to establish the minimum number of individuals, to estimate age at death, to determine sex, and to indentify bones remodeled by diseases, traumas and anomalies. The results indicate a minimum number of eight individuals, between adults and subadults, the sexual diagnosis was not possible. It was observed the presence of cribra humeralis in a humerus of a young individual, besides the presence of children's bones painted with red pigment, probably iron oxide

This group has contributed to the care of the sites with cave paintings in the perimeters of the settlement. However, according to the coordinators, they lacked the formal knowledge of this heritage to transmit safely and correctly to tourists. The Center for Archaeological and Historical Studies and Research (NUPEAH) of UFAL Campus do Sertão, was contacted to train the group. Thus, the present work aims to discuss the viability of the preservation of archaeological sites from autonomous initiatives associated with training actions. Therefore, we used as methodology the oral interview and structured questionnaire, seeking to identify the main contributions in the cultural development of the Veredas da Caatinga, during its performance in explaining to tourists about the archaeological sites. The results of the interviews inform that the guides, after the course, developed more security when dealing with this theme with the visitors.

The natural and anthropic processes of deterioration of these rock art sites, in view of their exposure, demonstrate the imperative need to develop preservation mechanisms, and these are subsidized by a previous diagnosis. In turn, the georeferencing of the area, measurement of the rock supports, the altimetry, as well as photographic records were made. Three sites of cave painting were diagnosed, being: the Saruê, Bindal and Bero, located in the municipality of Inhapi-AL.

On the Furna do Estrago site, numerous researches were developed and this information allowed a vast knowledge about funerary ritual and biology of this population, thus allowing the accomplishment of this investigation, whose objective was the identification of cultural elements that allowed to make inferences about the gender relations. From the observation of cultural data, it was possible to find indicators of gender distinctions, as our hypothesis suggests, that gender relations and roles, as a component part of social life, can be observed in the archaeological context, through funerary materiality.

Abstract: The state of Alagoas, located in northeast region of the Brazil have a rich archaeological collection, especially the rupestrian record sites in sertaneja region. Regarding the funeral sitios they are scarce, because only three sitios was discovered: Baixa das Flores at Limoeiro de Anadia; Alazão at Arapiraca and Sítio São Jose II in Delmiro Gouveia city. Because of these few funeral sitios discovered, the already found are very important around your death practices, shared to peoples that lived at the past time. Thus, this work has as objective show the art state about funerary archaeological sites found in Alagoas state, trying meet which the methodologies used at field activities and laboratory analysis, around the biocultural aspects, after highlight the results, e if these are different when different methodologies are used.
