Sources: 2. Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-14: Indigenous cemetery discovered in Amazonas archaeological site Archaeologists have discovered an ancient indigenous cemetery in Itacoatiara, Amazonas, featuring funerary urns and over 200 artifacts that offer insight into the region's pre-colonial history. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indigenous-cemetery-discovered-in-amazonas-archaeological-site ### 2026-08-05: São Paulo's Quarta Parada Cemetery Indigenous Urn Discovery Highlights Pre‑Urban History An indigenous urn found in 1896 at São Paulo’s Quarta Parada Cemetery shows pre‑urban burial use; documented by Bernardino Fernandes and now held by the State Museum. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/so-paulos-quarta-parada-cemetery-indigenous-urn-discovery-highlights-preurban-history --- Cite as: Indigenous archaeological discoveries in Brazil.
