Fig 4. Personal archaeological collection of a community resident of Irmandade Terra Preta.

This community is located on a multi-occupational archaeological site. The ceramic fragment identified as IR is a diagnostic fragment from the Incised Rim tradition and the ceramic fragments identified as S are diagnostic fragments from the Saracá tradition. It is normal to have greater representation of the latter ceramic fragments in surface collections as the oldest fragments are buried more deeply. The stone ax indicated by * is 10 cm in length.
