Dardo ou flecha? Testes e reflexões sobre a tecnologia de uso de pontas de projétil no Sudeste e Sul do Brasil durante a pré-história
Resumo
Resumo: Conhecidas popularmente como “pontas de flecha”, as pontas de projétil associadas à Tradição Umbu no sul e sudeste brasileiros carecem de investigação acerca do modo como foram utilizadas. Há variações importantes de tamanho entre pontas de flecha e pontas de dardo, dadas as diferenças tecnológicas associadas aos meios de propulsão utilizados. Este trabalho visa explorar de maneira preliminar, através da técnica proposta por Shott (1997), a questão sobre o uso de dardos e flechas no sudeste e sul do Brasil durante a pré-história. Foram analisadas pontas de oito sítios do sul e sudeste do Brasil, datados desde o Pleistoceno tardio até o Holoceno final. Pelo menos um conjunto de pontas, datado do início do Holoceno, apresentou uma proporção relativamente alta de pontas classificadas com “flecha”, indicando a presença de pontas que potencialmente poderiam ser usadas nesse sistema.
Abstract: Popularly known as "arrowheads", the projectile points associated with the Umbu Tradition in southern and southeastern Brazil have been lacking research about how they have been used. There are important variations in size between arrowheads and dart points, given the differences in their associated technological propulsions. Using the technique proposed by Shott (1997), this work aims, in a preliminary way, to better understand the use of darts and arrows in southeastern and southern Brazil during prehistory. The sample comprised points from eight sites from southern and southeastern Brazil, dating from the late Pleistocene to the late Holocene. At least one set of points, dated from the early Holocene, presented quite high proportion of points that could be considered as arrowheads, indicating the presence of points that could be potentially used as arrows.
