“…Source: Adapted from Libault (1971), Beltrão (1974), Martinelli (2009), Santos (2011), Cheliz (2011, Araujo and Correa (2016), Araujo et al (2021), Correa (2017), Troncoso et al (2016 and Santos and Cheliz (2019) Of the dates older than 10 ka, the most accepted as being representative of human occupation are from the Early Holocene. Others have questioned whether these ages are really associated with human settlements due to doubts about the context of the archaeological findings, the dates themselves, or the lack of association between the dated samples and the artefacts (Cheliz, 2015;Cheliz & Oliveira, 2019;Santos andCheliz, 2017, 2019;Araujo et al, 2017Araujo et al, , 2021. These questions reinforce the need to better investigate the dates associated with the Rincão I site and their context within the local physical environment.…”
