Abstract

The matter of the paper is the archaeological site RS-LN-62, a fishing-collecting-hunting camp site of the Vieira ceramic tradition, on the complex of lagoons of Southeast Rio Grande do Sul. Localized in the proximity of a string of lagoons, on the north coastal plain of the federal state, the site is testimony of the tradition’s maximum expansion, and is its most northern site, founded when the region was uninhabited. It is a solitary encampment of a small group of persons. The aim of the paper is to understand the settlement and the movements of its dwellers exploring the local environment. The site’s characterization is more comprehensive
when considered in the context of the coastal lagoons peopling and in confrontation with different and better studied sites of the same system. The poor representation of osseous and rocky artifacts moved the authors to compare especially the ever abundant and well preserved food remnants.
