Nature and age of the deposits in Pedra Furada, Brazil: reply to Meltzer, Adovasio & Dillehay

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  02 January 2015

Abstract

The archaeological evidence of the Pedra Furada rock-shelter (northeastern Brazil), showing a long sequence of dated layers from 50,000 years b.p., was questioned in a paper presented by Meltzer, Adovasio & Dillehay, who visited the region at the end of 1993, in volume 68 of ANTIQUITY (1994). This paper presents the reply of the team directly involved in the research programme in this key area of American prehistory.
