“…Indeed, in the case of single-artifact sites, the notion is synonymous with provenience. Another prominent account is presented by Phillips and Willey (1953) in their survey of archaeology that was to become Method and Theory in American Archaeology (Willey and Phillips 1958). For them, site has a central role in archaeological theory:…”

“…Decades later, a similar system was proposed by Phillips and Willey (1953), in the 1950s and partially adopted in Brazil by "The National Program of Archaeological Research" (PRONAPAPrograma Nacional de Pesquisas Arqueológicas) in the 1970s. According to PRONAPA (Chmyz & PRONAPA 1976: 145), a tradition is defined as "a group of elements or techniques that are distributed with temporal persistence."…”

Abstract:Bifacial points have been used to characterize the "Umbu" tradition in southern and southeastern Brazil. This archaeological tradition has been related to sites dated from the late Pleistocene-early Holocene boundary to near historical times. Such a huge temporal range and vast territory have suggested the existence of greater diversity within this tradition that has been ignored thus far due to the lack of systematic regional studies of such points. Through geometric morphometric analysis, this article aims to test the hypothesis that there are substantial differences in the Holocene bifacial points associated with the Umbu tradition in southeastern Brazil. Five landmarks were digitized in standardized photographs from 658 points from the states of São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. The results show that points made by groups from southeastern Brazil (São Paulo state) present a very distinct morphology (size and shape) in comparison to those made by the southern groups (Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul). This would indicate a regional identity shared only by some groups from São Paulo (at least regarding the projectile points). It is possible that Umbu tradition presents a more restricted range, both in chronological and spatial terms, than the one proposed so far.

“…Tais conceitos podem ter sua origem traçada a partir do Midwestern Taxonomic Method 4 (McKern, 1939), a primeira tentativa realizada por arqueólogos norteamericanos, nos anos 1930, para resolver o problema do conceito vago de "cultura" (Lyman et al, 1997:160). Passando por várias remodelações e após algumas décadas de debate, Phillips & Willey (1953;Willey & Phillips, 1958) propuseram um sistema semelhante, o qual foi parcialmente adotado pelo PRO-NAPA (1976). Assim, temos:…”

Neste artigo é feita uma breve discussão dos conceitos de “fase” e “tradição” e suas implicações no entendimento das áreas de distribuição de vestígios cerâmicos relacionados ao que se chama de Tradição cerâmica Itararé-Taquara, presente no sudeste e sul do Brasil. São apresentados novos dados relativos àTradição Itararé-Taquara, provenientes do Estado de São Paulo. Com base nesses dados, são propostas algumas hipóteses para se entender a origem e dispersão dos grupos humanos detentores dessa tecnologia cerâmica.
