Indigenous archaeological discoveries in Brazil
Overview
Archaeological discoveries of indigenous funerary sites and artifacts have been documented in different regions of Brazil.
In São Paulo, the discovery of a large indigenous funerary urn at the Quarta Parada Cemetery provided evidence of pre-colonial burial practices in the area long before urban expansion. The remains and the urn were historically transferred to the State Museum.
In the Amazonas region, excavations at the Seringal do Jauari in Itacoatiara confirmed the existence of an ancient indigenous cemetery. Researchers identified multiple locations containing funerary urns and over 200 ceramic fragments. Following intervention by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (Iphan), archaeologists determined that the urns would remain in situ to preserve the funerary context, while other artifacts are slated for analysis at the Federal University of Amazonas.
